It's quite simple: You create a small whip using a matchstick and cat whisker, and then you whip them if they don't behave as you want them to. If they do what you want them to do you give them sugar..
We watched this video in zoology today. These worms are trained to form into the smiley face. Just like you would train a dog with treats these worms are trained with nutrients
My guess is that they just added food together with sodium azide, which is an anesthetic for C. elegans, on those spots where the eyes and mouth are formed.
Not fake, but I messed with the time. Hint: the animals have brighter heads than tails :) The animals express YFP in body wall muscle cells under unc-54 promotor

Wienstien & rogan brought me here!
Hint: Worms crawl forward, and their heads are slightly brighter than their tail...
Yatta!

streak Levamisole on the plate as whatever pattern you like.
That's how we play with worms.
So, my guess is that it has nothing to do with food or sodium azide: you just rewind the movie! Fooling the colleagues... ;)

@JesperSP
Could you please elaborate on the methods of positive reinforcement and negative punishment you have used to train these samples?
How on earth was this accomplished? Very cool.
Yo Carl brought me here who else
Nematodes are people too!

Hamamatsu Orca R2 mounted on a standard fluorescence microscope..
Jesper would you mind entering this movie to the Worm Art Show?
clever. But is it actually possible to train them like this?
What camera did you use to capture this?
@anha
Sure... how do I enter my contribution to the Worm Art show ?
ahhh! so neat
neat
Only Razer :D
The fuck?
fake?
