Caption

This image depicts a colony of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> nematode worms feeding on bacteria. The worms congregate in patches where bacteria growth is the densest, in this case forming a ring. <i>C. elegans</i> is among the simplest organism with a nervous system, making it a valuable model in neurobiology.
