Microfluidic devices for analysis of spatial orientation behaviors in semi-restrained Caenorhabditis elegans.

This article describes the fabrication and use of microfluidic devices for investigating spatial orientation behaviors in nematode worms (Caenorhabditis elegans). Until now, spatial orientation has been studied in freely moving nematodes in which the frequency and nature of encounters with the gradi...
