Abstract :
We developed microfluidic and ultrafast optical technologies that enable high-throughput whole-animal neural regeneration studies. These technologies allow automated and rapid manipulation and non-invasive immobilization of C. elegans for sub-cellular resolution two-photon imaging and femtosecond-laser nanosurgery.
