The brain in action: Stunning video shows a worm's neurons light up as it thinks about its next move
Researchers captured the first recording of a free-moving animal brain
Team was able to trace specific behaviours to the activity of 77 neurons
This could give insight to neuron activity in all brains, including humans

What goes on in the brain of a worm?
After capturing 3D footage of neural activity in an area covering nearly the entire brains of these tiny worms, researchers at Princeton University now know.
And, they say the information could help further understanding of neuron activity in all brains, including humans'.

The recordings taken by Princeton scientists are the first to examine nearly the entire brain of a free-moving animal.
