I learned a somewhat disturbing fact about sea squirts recently - once they find their permanent home they eat their own brain because they don’t need it anymore - their brain becomes a resource-heavy extraneous organ. Yikes! The article continues to explore the idea of how “Our body and mind are tightly connected. The body is an important part of the learning process.”, a concept which is not stressed enough.
