Information from receptors passes along neurones, as electrical impulses to co-ordinators such as the central nervous system or CNS. The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. Muscles contracting or ...

A study analyzing Cambrian fossils uncovered that the ancestral ecdysozoan likely had a single ventral nerve cord, ...

Learn about the wide-ranging Ecdysozoa group of animals and how scientists solved the curious case of their nervous systems' structure.

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, ...

A new electrically active transplantable material that can help to regrow cells in the brain and spinal cord could redefine ...

A study from the University of Chicago has revealed a critical mechanism in the octopus's nervous system that allows for ...

New research has revealed that the nervous system circuitry that controls arm movement in octopuses is segmented, giving these extraordinary creatures precise control across all eight arms and ...

These move towards the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. It coordinates the responses. Messages are then sent back along different neurones to muscles which ...

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 ...
