A fish's nervous system starts out with the sense organs like the lateral line, eyes, and nose. these sense organs have nerves sends a message to the brain by sending electrical impulses from the nerves trough the spinal cord to the brain.

​

​

In a fish it brain has six different sections the olfactory lobe, cerebrum, optic lob, cerebellum, medulla, and spinal cord.

​

The olfactory lob is connected to the nostrils which draws in odor from the water by using the nerves. the brain then tells you what you are smelling.

​

The cerebrum controls reasoning, maternal care and higher brain function.

​

The optic lode helps with fish sight as well as hearing. fish have optic nerves near their eyes and they have lens.
