How do researchers test their hypotheses relating to human brains and neurological diseases? Hint: think about the scientific method. If you guessed experiments, then you were correct. Next question: What do researchers test their experiments on before human experimentation? If you are thinking about animals, then you guessed correctly again. Some popular animals used as models include but not limited to, mice, fruit flies, rats, and some species of fish. However, this website is aimed in discussing the human model, C. elegans by looking through biological, neurological, and psychological aspects. This paper also strives to show how C. elegans are similar to humans and how researchers can learn from them and relate it to their human studies.
