说明：这些实验是我的研究生在出租房里做的，条件非常简陋，但却是实实在在的原创实验。该实验证实了“去头蟋蟀有智能”，也即“脑外智能”，详细情况参阅论文，欢迎同道交流！脑科学研究非常艰难复杂，但人类不会在科学的困难面前止步不前。只要我们不懈努力，不断探索，或许会找到一点点线索。

Abstract

Background: intelligence is a highly complex problem. The decapitated insect exhibits various behaviors, indicating that they may have intelligence. Recent studies have reported organoid intelligence (OI) that lab-grown organoids also possess intelligence. This study investigated the response of decapitated crickets to different chemical stimuli to determine whether decapitated crickets have intelligence. 

Methods: We used deionized water, NaCl, sucrose, and sodium hypochlorite to stimulate the front legs of the decapitated crickets and lesion the T1-T2 nerve connection of the thoracic ganglia. The behavioral response types of their forelegs were recorded. Reaction time, incidence rate, and total number of responses were calculated and analyzed.

Results: The decapitated crickets exhibit four types of responses: leg extension, leg withdrawal, leg lift, and jump. The reaction time and incidence rate varied depending on the type and concentration of the stimulant solution. The total number of responses gradually increased with deionized water, NaCl, sucrose, and sodium hypochlorite. The lesion experiments further revealed that the only T1 thoracic ganglion can control stimulating behavior. 

Conclusion: The decapitated crickets possess the intelligence of perceiving stimuli and taking corresponding action. We called it decapitated body intelligence (DBI) or extrabrain intelligence (EI), which suggests that intelligence is not localized exclusively in the brain but also resides in insect ganglia. This finding opens up new ideas and avenues for the study of intelligence and the brain.
