The Squid's nervous system
The squid's nervous system contains one "giant axon" which may be up to one millimeter in length. This axon is somewhat like a brain, as it is the head of the nervous system of the squid. As cephalopods, squids exhibit extremely high intelligence among invertibraes. They can hunt cooperatively together, and they also exhibit forms of communciation with members of the same species.
Squids rely on their intelligence because they have a very different nervous system than most vertebraes. They are considered to have the most intelligence of invertebraes.
Using their intelligence, squids use communication, predatory, and navigational techniques. |
