RULE 1
STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH YOUR SHOULDERS BACK
LOBSTERS—AND TERRITORY
If you are like most people, you don’t often think about lobsters
2—unless you’re eating
one. However, these interesting and delicious crustaceans are very much
worth
considering. Their nervous systems are comparatively simple, with large,
easily observable
neurons, the magic cells of the brain. Because of this, scientists have been
able to map the
neural circuitry of lobsters very accurately. This has helped us understand
the structure
and function of the brain and behaviour of more complex animals,
including human
beings. Lobsters have more in common with you than you might think
(particularly when
you are feeling crabby—ha ha).
