The Caribbean Box jellyfish (The Caribbean Box jellyfish)

For the first time, scientists have discovered that jellyfish can learn from experience and change their behavior in response to past experiences, despite lacking a central brain.

This surprising finding overturns previous assumptions about how brainless jellyfish are thought to be.

The research focuses on the Caribbean box jellyfish, Tripedalia cystophora, which have no central brain and instead move around with a nervous system made up of only 1,000 cells.

Until now, scientists believed that such simple animals were brainless because they had no nerve cells.

But new research has shown that even this simple animal is capable of learning from experience, including sensing changes in temperature, light, and physical touch. .

The study is published in Current Biology.
