Regular Member alexiscool Posted March 31, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2009 Queen's University says new research it conducted shows crabs not only suffer pain but retain a memory of it. The study, which looked at the reactions of hermit crabs to small electric shocks, was carried out by Professor Bob Elwood and Mirjam Appel. article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/norther...and/7966807.stm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jsrtist Posted April 1, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've longed believed that invertebrates, including hermits, can feel pain, but due to the lack of a central nervous system, it isn't the kind of pain we know. Thanks for sharing that article. I wish they would elaborate on how they process the pain and how they feel it. That is very, very interesting and I hope we hear more about this in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
