“…Further modeling work has focused on potential biochemical implementations of chemosensory behavior in cells and growth cones (Hentschel & van Ooyen, 1999;Aeschlimann & Tettoni, 2001;Levchenko & Iglesias, 2002;Levine, Kessler, & Rappel, 2004;Sakumura, Tsukada, Yamamoto, & Ishii, 2005;Skupsky, Losert, & Nossal, 2005;Narang, 2006;Skupsky, McCann, Nossal, & Losert, 2007;Onsum & Rao, 2007;Naoki, Sakumura, & Ishii, 2008). However, none of this work has addressed the question of the strategy by which a gradient sensor should combine information from a spatially distributed array of receptors to optimally determine gradient direction.…”
