The comb jelly can grow your brain in 4 days

It turned out that this sea creature can grow your brain in less than 4 days. This discovery may lead to the discovery of new treatments for brain injuries.

Ctenophore, which is considered one of the simplest forms of life, in fact, has a unique nervous system. The researchers describe the research news "the discovery of an alien in your backyard". Experiments at the University of Florida show: ctenophore took a completely different path of development of neural complexity than any other part of the animal world. Researcher Leonid Moroz: "Revealing the unique system of basic functions – movement, nervous system, muscles, I can introduce you to the aliens into the sea." This creature differs from us.

"The results can lead to new ways to study neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and open new opportunities for bioengineering," said frost. Some ctenophores can regenerate an elementary brain in three and a half days. "Ctenophores show us that there is more than one option for a complex nervous and muscular organization. Nature is much more innovative mechanism than we thought".
