Abstract

Frequency and asymmetry of the flagellar waveform of sperm are controlled by cAMP-mediated and Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways, but additional mechanisms modulate sperm swimming behavior. Here, high-speed imaging of free-swimming mouse sperm simultaneously reports flagellar waveform, orientation of sperm head, and swimming paths.
