Cephalization

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your way around a new city without a map or GPS, relying solely on scattered information from signs and landmarks. Just as having all your navigation tools concentrated in one device at the front of your journey makes it easier to find your way, cephalization is the biological equivalent, where animals concentrate sensory organs and nerve tissues at their front end. This concentration, much like having a map app on your phone that guides you efficiently through the city, allows animals to process information and respond to their environment more effectively, enhancing their ability to navigate and survive.
