许多动物使用重力作为空间参考来帮助它们导航周围环境，但它们是如何做到这一点的还不太清楚。一项新的研究表明，我们最近的无脊椎动物近亲中的一种--衣状Ciona--通过一个简单的神经回路来处理光线和重力信号，以决定何时以及如何游泳。
Many animals use gravity as a spatial reference to help navigate their surroundings, but how they do so is not well understood. A new study reveals that a representative of our closest invertebrate relatives, the tunicateCiona, processes light and gravity cues through a simple neural circuit to decide when and how to swim.
