Summary
Scientists say our brains may not be as complicated as we once thought – and they’re using sea slugs to prove it.
What happens in the brain during movement is currently only well understood for small, dedicated neural circuits. The sea slug brain has some of the complexity of higher organisms, yet has large neurons that make it possible to record a substantial amount of what is happening in the brain during movement.
