This work adds to our understanding of the relationship between behavioral states, which persist across hours and minutes, and moment-by-moment decision-making, which unfolds over seconds, and the brain mechanisms that bind them together.

Neuromodulatory mutants and optogenetic manipulations that increase roaming also increase leaving. By contrast, inactivating a set of chemosensory neurons uncouples roaming and leaving dynamics, highlighting the integrative role played by these neurons.

We noticed that food-leaving decisions were marked by a speed increase that evolved in 2 phases: 1) by behavioral state change increasing arousal minutes before leaving and 2) by rapid acceleration just before leaving. We wondered how roaming and leaving are functionally coupled.

Excited to share my thesis work in @betenoire1's lab @RockefellerUniv! We found that C. elegans makes discrete foraging decisions that are coupled to behavioral patterns unfolding over multiple timescales and that sensory neurons mediate this coupling.
