Feeding behaviour and the role of the brain in the polyclad flatworm, Planocera gilchristi

Abstract The feeding behaviour of Planocera consists of a complex sequence of events. They feed by capturing snails and extracting the molluscs from their shells. Decerebration of the flatworms affects both the sequential timing of the patterns and the ability to capture prey but brainless animals are still capable of feeding.
