Sensory experience affects the structure of these tree-like neurites, which, it is assumed, modifies neuronal function, yet the evidence is scarce, and the mechanisms are unknown. To study whether ...

This work describes a valuable method, SICKO, for real-time longitudinal quantification of bacterial colonization in the gut of individual C. elegans. The authors present convincing evidence to ...
