What the paper says

Assuming that cognitive complexity follows a single, centralized trajectory overlooks key gaps: (1) the scarcity of cognitive studies on non-centralized species; (2) the potential of alternative neural architectures to support complex behavior; and (3) the influence of ecological niche pressures. Here we present evidence of curiosity-like behavior in a jellyfish, challenging the assumed link between centralized brains and complex cognition.
