      Hi @eleanormulligan123 & @lidivampire

      Thanks for a great question! The brains of humans and other animals are quite different. In fact some animals don’t even have brains, like jellyfish. But when animals do have brains the way that they begin to form is very similar, although this wasn’t always thought to be the case. The below link explains more:
