Relating to both the cerebral ganglia and the pedal ganglia, especially in mollusks like snails and clams.
From Latin cerebrum (brain) + pes, pedis (foot). This zoological term originated in 19th-century malacology to describe nerve connections in invertebrates.
In mollusks, the cerebropedal connectives are literal nerve cables running from the brain to the foot—meaning snails have actual brain-to-foot highways controlling their muscle movements, which is wild when you think about it.
