Track-a-worm, an open-source system for quantitative assessment of C. elegans locomotory and bending behavior.

A major challenge of neuroscience is to understand the circuit and gene bases of behavior. C. elegans is commonly used as a model system to investigate how various gene products function at specific tissue, cellular, and synaptic foci to produce complicated locomotory and bending behavior. The inves...
