The wriggling and writhing of worms may hold clues to the inner workings of our brains, according to scientists at the MRC's Clinical Sciences Centre at Imperial College London. The researchers have developed a pioneering tool to analyse a worm's posture as it wriggles, and will use the tool to investigate how exactly the worm's brain controls its movements.
