With terrifyingly sharp teeth arranged around a circular mouth, lampreys look about as primitive a vertebrate as you could imagine. But a new study finds that the animals have a surprising similarity to people: Lampreys have the nerve cells responsible for the “fight or flight” response.

Shimmering, gelatinous comb jellies wouldn’t appear to have much to hide. But their mostly see-through bodies cloak a nervous system unlike that of any other known animal, researchers report in the April 21 Science.
In the nervous systems of everything from anemones to aardvarks, electrical impulses pass between nerve cells, allowing for signals to move from one cell to the next. But the ctenophores’ cobweb of neurons, called a nerve net, is missing these distinct connection spots, or synapses.
Red Bull war das Team, das es 2022 zu schlagen galt, da sie die Action auf der Strecke dominierten. Der Hersteller gewann 17 der 22 Rennen auf dem Weg zum Gewinn des Konstrukteurstitels mit riesigen 205 Punkten Vorsprung auf den nächsten Herausforderer Ferrari.
