Snails use 'two brain cells' to make decisions, Sussex University discovers

It is hoped the research may help engineers design more efficient "robot brains"

Snails use two brain cells to make "complex decisions", a team of scientists has found.

Researchers at the University of Sussex said one cell told the snail if it was hungry while the other cell told it if food was present.

The experiments used electrodes to measure brain activity of the molluscs when searching for lettuce.

Lead researcher Prof George Kemenes said the discovery would help engineers design "robot brains".

He said these would be based on the principle of using the fewest possible components necessary to perform complex tasks.

How many Brain Cells do you use, Drumph?

The brain starts to work the moment you are born. With some as seen here, it ceases to function when they type a posting.

Did you see how stubby his finger is?

Or is he telling us he only uses HALF a brain cell?

From what I've heard, I don't think he uses any - he just rolls the dice.

And we get a different answer every time he opens his mouth.

Don't be too hard on him, he only uses one brain cell.
