Brainy worms: Evolution of the cerebral cortex
Published:Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:17:25 -0700
( European Molecular Biology Laboratory ) Unexpectedly, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory have now discovered a true counterpart of the cerebral cortex in an invertebrate, a marine worm. Their findings, published today in Cell, give an idea of what the most ancient higher brain centers looked like, and what our distant ancestors used them for....
