Researchers from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden have now detected pain stimuli sent to the brain of shore crabs, providing more evidence for pain in crustaceans. “We need to find less ...

The study, published in the journal Biology, represents the first time scientists have used EEG-style measurements to record pain responses directly from a crab’s brain. Shore crabs, those small ...

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg uncover evidence that shore crabs experience pain, proving that painful stimuli are transmitted to their nervous systems. This study emphasizes the ...

Crabs are able to navigate around a complex maze and even remember the route in order to find food, a Swansea University study has found. Twelve common shore crabs were put in a maze which had ...
