Patch Clamp Recording from <i>C. elegans</i> Single Cell (VIDEO)

Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University

Caption

Scientists used sharp glass needles to extract a GFP-labeled cell from C. elegans and recorded the neuronal response of the cell to varying salt concentrations by patch-clamp technique. In this study, the authors demonstrated that salt evoked regenerative all-or-none membrane depolarization in C. elegans chemosensory neurons. This video shows scientists extracting a cell from C. elegans in order to conduct whole-cell recording.
