A joint study by Tel Aviv University and the University of Haifa set out to solve a scientific mystery: how a soft coral is able to perform the rhythmic, pulsating movements of its tentacles without a central nervous system. The study's findings are striking, and may even change the way we understand movement in the animal kingdom in general, and in the corals studied in particular.
