Planarian Phototactic Assay Reveals Differential Behavioral Responses Based on Wavelength.
Planarians are free-living aquatic flatworms that possess a well-documented photophobic response to light. With a true central nervous system and simple cerebral eyes (ocelli), planarians are an emerging model for regenerative eye research. However, comparatively little is known about the physiology...
