Did you know...It has been found that some invertebrates have very similar physiological
and neurochemical responses to stimuli that would be expected to cause
pain to those of vertebrates. Opioids are substances that mimic the
effects of opium in the brain, and include peptide molecules such
as enkephalins and endorphins. Box jellyfish have four brains, with six eyes at each brain. the eyes are highly complex. However, one of the 24 eyes is pointed upwards and can see above, and another is pointed below, to see down. They can recognise black but not white, and red worries them. They will swim into a white pole, swim round a black pole, but keep well away from a red pole (all this was researched by keeping the poor things in a tank!) |
