Chemotaxis is a powerful paradigm to study how sensory stimulations drive orientation behaviors in an organism. Drosophila larvae navigate odor gradients by controlling the duration of runs and the direction of turns. A turn is preceded by lateral head sweeps (“casts”) that sample the stimulus from the surroundings. In addition, larvae correct their course towards the odor source during runs, a phenomenon called “weathervaning”. Peristaltic waves that propagate along the body axis drive forward run events. We showed that the peristaltic wave cycle acts as a natural unit of movement and sets a physical constraint on the amount of reorientation achieved during runs. Moreover, head-casts are strictly observed within the bounds of the...
