No brain? No problem. From brittle stars to amoebas, these brainless creatures are redefining what it takes to learn: thetransmitter.org/cognition/cogn… with Julia Notar, PhD Sonke Johnsen Duke Biology Trinity College at Duke Duke University

Recent work by Julia Notar, PhD in the lab of Duke Biology's Sonke Johnsen found that, like Pavlov’s dogs, brittle stars can learn a simple association between food delivery (shrimp) and a cue (turning off the lights). youtu.be/PprikzzATrg?si…
