What did the first nervous system look like, and in which animals did it occur? What kind of brain did the famous last common ancestor of vertebrates, annelids and insects possess? And can we reconstruct its form and function? Help in answering these questions comes from an unexpected source: small marine worms that live today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the EMBL Insight Lecture 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/groups\/arendt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Detlev Arendt<\/a> introduces the exciting field of evolution of the nervous system and takes us on a journey to find out more about the first neurons and their role in coordinating body movement and physiology in ancient animals. The lecture shows how, by investigating sea annelids and other marine worms that have changed relatively little over the last 540 million years, Detlev and his team are able to draw conclusions about the early brain that was present in the first ancestors of bilaterally symmetrical animals. Can they get us closer to uncovering the origin of learning and memory?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-52e471a0-2172-41ea-a594-1fb9aae9cce5\"><h2>Event report<\/h2>\n<p>We wrote about the lecture in our news section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/2023\/11\/27\/making-sense-of-our-brain-in-the-light-of-evolution\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n<button class=\"vf-button vf-button--primary\">Read article<\/button>\n<\/a>\n<!--\/vf-button-->\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-97cce44c-3fb2-47b6-9893-009d3d33329f\"><h2>Watch lecture<\/h2>\n<p>The EMBL Insight Lecture is available via on-demand-streaming from this website.
