RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Nanoscale mechanical stimulation method for quantifying C. elegans mechanosensory behavior and memory JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 047431 DO 10.1101/047431 A1 Takuma Sugi A1 Etsuko Okumura A1 Kaori Kiso A1 Ryuji Igarashi YR 2016 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/04/06/047431.abstract AB Here, we establish a novel economic system to quantify C. elegans mechanosensory behavior and memory by a controllable nanoscale mechanical stimulation. Using piezoelectric sheet speaker, we can flexibly change the vibration properties at a nanoscale displacement level and quantify behavioral responses and memory under the control of each vibration property. This system will facilitate understanding of physiological aspects of C. elegans mechanosensory behavior and memory.
