What’s the smart nerve taking a detour one?
-
-
And it does that for both humans... And giraffes. Going from the brain, several meters down to the heart, then all the way back up to the larynx.
-
Isn't that just a way to average latency to match up with the other limbs? Nerve connections aren't instantaneous like electrical wires or fiber optics.
-
Your larynx isn't really a limb... But nah, its an evolutionary artefact. In primordial fish it's a straight line, but then the head moves, a neck forms, etc etc. and the nerve can't detach and move over, so it gets longer wnd weirder.
-
Brain usually does that kind of sync on its own. Your conscious experience of reality is actually very slightly in the past because of that.
-
This is why it's so jarring when what happens in real life doesn't line up with the predicted reality your brain expects! I hate that feeling :D

Vagus nerve

Funny they didn't use a giraffe for that one. It's like a few inches out of the way for humans - It's feet for giraffes
-
Bro the giraffe's vagus nerve goes to their feet??
-
No, it is feet
-
That's what I said
-
No no, it is feet, as in made of feet.
-
