- Title
Channeling the worm: microfluidic devices for nematode neurobiology.

- Abstract
The article discusses on the significance of Caenorhabditis elegans as the hydrogen atom of neurobiology. The organism reportedly has tiny nervous system of only 302 neurons and a repertoire of useful yet minimalist behavior, which made it an important organism in neuroscience in computing the behavior of an entire organism. The relevant of C. elegans has been discovered with the finding that a nematode welded to a thin agarose film with superglue could be dissected with a fine glass needle.
