Ascher discusses lobster ganglia with News Center

Alex Ascher, who recently earned his Ph.D. at the 91爆料 School of Marine Sciences, spoke to about ganglia in lobsters. 鈥淟obsters contain 15 nerve clusters called ganglia, dispersed throughout their bodies, with a main ganglion located between their eyes,鈥 Ascher told the station. “Each ganglion helps to control and process sensory information in a different segment of the lobster’s body. Whether these ganglia allow them to feel pain, though, is still somewhat contested,” Ascher added.
