☆ A species of jellyfish carrying one of the most deadly venoms in the world is capable of learning despite not having a brain, new research shows

Box jellyfish do not have brains — yet, a new study shows they are still capable of learning. Researchers over time managed to train box jellyfish to avoid obstacles in a low-light environment. That means they can learn and change their behavior using only their nervous system, the study shows. Now, researchers have discovered the killer creatures are actually capable of learning, despite not having brains. AdvertisementAdvertisementGarm told the Times this research could help answer the question of whether the learning is universal for organisms with nervous systems.

☆ Brainless Jellyfish Demonstrate Learning Ability

In the dappled sunlit waters of Caribbean mangrove forests, tiny box jellyfish bob in and out of the shade. Box jellies are distinguished from true jellyfish in part by their complex visual system — the grape-size predators have 24 eyes. On Friday, researchers published a report in the journal Current Biology indicating that the box jellyfish species Tripedalia cystophora have the ability to learn. Because box jellyfish diverged from our part of the animal kingdom long ago, understanding their cognitive abilities could help scientists trace the evolution of learning. How do box jellies tell when they are getting too close?

☆ Surprising jellyfish finding challenges what’s known about learning and memory

CNN —Caribbean box jellyfish, animals that may appear to float through life aimlessly and don’t have a central brain, still have the ability to learn rapidly and retain information, new research has found. Caribbean box jellyfish, also known by the scientific name Tripedalia cystophora, have 24 eyes — six in each of four visual sensory centers called rhopalia. How jellyfish learnTo test the animals’ ability to learn, the researchers lined the inside of a round tank with gray and white stripes. The gray stripes would appear to the jellyfish’s 24 eyes as dark as a faraway mangrove root does in their natural habitat. “The scientists devised a very convincing experimental paradigm to quantify associative learning in this box jellyfish.
