"In this study, we used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which is only one millimeter long and has a lifespan of only two weeks. The nematodes exhibit a variety of behaviors with their 302 neurons ...

Imagine a world where worms can hear. While it may sound like science fiction, researchers at the University of Michigan have ...

New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.

The worm C. elegans has been a powerful model for understanding many types of biological processes, says Jayakrishnan ...

Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as Caenorhabditis elegans, a worm used in ...

Scientists uncover nematodes' surface chemistry, showing lipid coatings aid survival, hydration, and interactions.

Nematodes have oily surfaces that impact survival and interactions, offering insights into evolution and parasite control. A ...

One organism that researchers frequently employ in their studies of life span is Caenorhabditis elegans, a microscopic roundworm that typically lives to a ripe old age of two to three weeks.

This study presents useful findings on the differences between male and hermaphrodite C. elegans connectomes and how they may result in changes in locomotory behavioural outputs. However, the study ...

This study investigates the auditory sensation in the nematode C. elegans, demonstrating that these worms are capable of sensing and responding to ...
