To Test the Effects of Drugs Scientists Develop Worm EEG

A device which records the brain activity of worms to help test the effects of drugs was developed by scientists from the University of Southampton. NeuroChip is a microfluidic electrophysiological device, which can trap the microscopic worm iCaenorhadbitis elegans/i and record the activity of discrete neural circuits in its 'brain' - a worm equivalent of the EEG. iC. elegans/i have been enormously important in providing insight into fundamental ...
