| Re: Ever found yourself wondering what an invisible cephalopod looks like? Did you know that they have giant nerve fibres, too? The axon of an average squid is 1,000x wider than that of a human. That’s why neuroscientists use squid for their experiments—much less fiddly to work with.
Basically, electrical signals pass through a squid’s nervous system many, many times faster than ours do. |
