is an emerging model organism for neuroscience due to its small size, transparency, genetic tractability, and regenerative nervous system; however, fundamental properties of sensorimotor behaviors remain unknown. Here, we use microfluidic devices combined with fluorescent calcium imaging surgical resectioning study how the diffuse system coordinates
