Scientists Think One of Earth’s Simplest Organisms May Work like a Giant Brain

"Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
- While #moss form vital substrates that allow more complex plant and animal life to move into new ecological niches, the plants themselves are often seen as simple lifeforms.
- A new study complicates this picture with evidence of electrophysical communication in mats of #Brachythecium rutabulum, a rough-stalked feather moss found throughout Great Britain.
- Although future studies will be needed, this research shows that one of the oldest types of plant life on Earth may have a secret means of communication."Read more:
