Intriguing and incredibly unique, Octopuses are cephalopods with three hearts that pump blue blood throughout their eight arms. These intelligent sea creatures have multiple brains. Nine, to be exact.

Octopuses don’t think like we do. In fact, most of their neurons aren’t in their brains at all. Instead, they’re spread ...

Nature showcases diverse nervous systems beyond a single command center. Several animals, including octopuses, leeches, and starfish, have evolved multiple brain-like organs or distributed nerve ...

Previously, scientists were unsure exactly how the ventral nerve cord (a vital component of invertebrates’ central nervous system) developed in ecdysozoans. However, a close look at Cambrian-age (541 ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...

These filters can provide necessary adjustments for inherent differences in the mass, material, and other properties between the robot and the animal. To create control systems that are constrained to ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in ecdysozoan ...

An animal with a superpower — it can fuse with another and become one Researchers found that two individuals of a type of comb jelly can fuse and become one with a shared nervous system and ...
