Dr. Slugs' Amazing Story about the Unknown "Brain" and "Ecology"! A slug that appears out of nowhere and crawls leaving behind a silver stripe. It is a pest of agricultural products and has a bad image in English because it is a synonym for a tardy. In 2018, a news story about an Australian man who died after eating a slug raw became a hot topic. However, according to the author who studied the slug's brain in 19 years, there is a tremendous "brain power" that is unmatched by humans. He can learn "and think logically like a dog, and he also suffers. He can store memories in his antennae, which are the branch office of the brain. When both the brain and antennae are broken, they regenerate freely. He can sense light with his brain even without eyes. Moreover, his esophagus runs through the middle of the brain! This book introduces the great" brain power "of slugs and their extraordinary ecology (breathing and poop are in the same hole and egg-laying from the side of his head, etc.) with a light and easy touch. The brain power of slugs that cannot be imitated by humans tells us that only the way humans exist is not the best. The final chapter tells the story of the life of slugs that cannot be imitated by humans, and it is clear that research that is not exposed to the sun is actually full of joy. Welcome to the fun world of slug brains where common sense and noncommon sense are exchanged!
