Edgar is excited by what this discovery might mean for humans.

I don't think you can apply jelly biology directly to human biology. Some 500 million years inbetween, there ought to be some slight differences.

The better we understand the nervous systems of other species, the better we can understand our own through comparison and testing, which in turn can lead to more ideas for medical treatments- or augmentation, if you're into that kind of thing.
