Inspired by [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/kjjz3x/octopuses_have_no_bones_and_can_squeeze_through/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).
I think it’s safe to say that a human brain would not survive being squished through a pipe like that, so how does the structure between an Octopus brain and human brain (or whatever vertebrate brain is closest to them) differ, and why does that result in the ability to go through just about any hole?
Thanks in advance.
In: Biology
The head of an octopod only contains a very small brain (the “head” mostly internal organs digestive/circulatory, etc). Their arms each do perform their own simple brain like functions allowing the primary brain to be smaller than their beak which is what limits how small an opening they can go through.
