We can all agree that insects have heads, right? But what exactly do they have rattling around inside there? Do insects have brains like humans? Or is it just a bunch of nerves and goo? Well join Inés and Alie to get the answers and to hear how scientists are using bugs to learn new things about the human brain as well.

We want to give an enormous thanks to Inés from Draw Curiosity for collaborating with us. She was our first collab ever on our channel, so it's so fun to be able to get together IN PERSON to do something like this! Please go check out her channel. She is an incredible person and a great YouTuber.
