Caribbean box jellyfish, animals that may appear to float through life aimlessly and don’t have a central brain, still have the ability to learn rapidly and retain information, new research has ...

Despite the glorious arrival of summer, there's definitely a sting in the season's tail—quite literally. Even in the UK, it's ...

At Caltech, researchers have turned living jellyfish into low-cost, remotely controlled ocean robots — creating real-life ...

Jellyfish could be much smarter than scientists previously thought, asserts a new study published in the journal Current Biology. Here's what researchers discovered about the workings of their brains.

Even jellyfish washed up on shore can sting, sometimes for days. If stung, rinse the area with seawater (not fresh water), or ...

One of the most advanced attributes of a nervous system, he said, is the ability to change behavior as a result of experience — to remember and learn. As the tiny box jellyfish approach the ...

The problem with jellyfish is that their stinging cells can remain active even after the animal is dead. Fishermen complain ...

The learning was further verified through electrophysiology and classical conditioning experiments, which also showed where in the jellyfish’s nervous system the learning takes place.

Jellyfish have generally been seen as simple and limited in their learning capabilities with scientists believing more advanced nervous systems leads to more advanced learning potential.

Comb jellyfish are even more unique than scientists previously expected, as new research shows they have a nervous system unlike anything scientists have ever encountered.

This finding upends a long-held idea that organisms can’t engage in associative learning without a central nervous system, according to a study published Friday in the journal Current Biology.
