The first nerve net connectome is here, and it belongs to a comb jelly. This ancient lineage could crack open research into the evolution of sensory motor coordination, researchers say.

Astrocyte networks are much larger than previously thought, which “flips the way we think about astrocytes and what their networks may mean,” says @liddelowsa.bsky.social.
