Math Explains How Lobsters Swim : DNews — news.discovery.com

Scientists have uncovered how crustaceans co-ordinate their curious Mexican wave-style swimming movement. A team of four mathematicians and a biologist from the US have shown that the creatures' technique is highly efficient and is hard-wired in a simple neural circuit. The work is one of only a few examples where a neural circuit underlying a particular behaviour has been understood, the authors write in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
