TED-ED: Why the insect brain is so incredible - Anna St_ckl

The video explores the complexity of insect brains, comparing them to human brains. Despite their small size, insect brains perform complex functions like perception and navigation. The concept of convergent evolution explains similarities between insect and human brains, despite different evolutionary paths. Studying insect brains aids scientific understanding and engineering innovations, such as designing control systems for drones and robots.
