burrowing assay distance abnormal
Animals exhibit variations, compared to control, in the distance traveled in a burrowing assay, in which animals are placed in a tube, separated from an attractant by solid medium through which the worms can burrow. Variations in distance traveled during the burrowing assay, when controlled for chemosensation defects, have been suggested to reflect variations in neuromuscular efficacy of locomotion.
burrowing assay distance reduced
Animals exhibit a reduction, compared to control, in the distance traveled in a burrowing assay, in which animals are placed in a tube, separated from an attractant by solid medium through which the worms can burrow. Reductions in distance traveled during the burrowing assay, when controlled for chemosensation defects, have been suggested to reflect deficits in neuromuscular efficacy of locomotion.
