Tracking a worm (VIDEO)

Picower Institute at MIT

Caption

A two minute-long excerpt from an example neural/behavioral dataset. The blue, orange, and green dots are targets for tracking, which allowed the team to locate the worm’s head and keep the animal centered in view. A separate view of the microscope (not shown) tracks simultaneous activity of each brain cell.
