摘要: Understanding how the mechanoreceptor neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans mediate mechanotransduction can unravel touch works, but new tools are required to quantitatively analyze relationship between mechanical loading and physiological response. Here we present a piezoresistive cantilever-based force clamp system that apply user-defined profiles C. elegans. We novel MEMS force-clamp demonstrate cantilever with low 1/f noise, noise floor high resolution suitable for these measurements. Initial studies enabled by also discussed.
