Centipedes possess a decentralized nervous system

Neuroscience & Psychology

Centipedes possess a decentralized nervous system, with a brain composed of two or three pairs of ganglia and a ventral nerve cord with segmental ganglia. This system allows for independent control of individual legs and body segments, even when the brain is removed, as demonstrated by experiments where centipedes can still walk and respond to stimuli after being de-cephalized. Research suggests that central pattern generators (CPGs) play a crucial role in generating locomotion patterns, with sensory feedback and descending control from the brain also influencing movement.
