A Beautifully Animated Explanation of How the Intelligent Brain of an Octopus Works
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#WJAP)
In a recent Ted-Ed lesson beautifully animated by Johan Sonestedt, educator Cliudio L. Guerra explains how an octopus thinks with such intelligence and is able to act upon its thoughts through a complex neural ganglia system that encompasses its entire body.
Octopuses have the ability to solve puzzles, learn through observation, and even use tools - just like humans. But what makes octopus intelligence so amazing is that it comes from a biological structure completely different from ours.
