Neuroecology: Forces that shape the octopus brain
Summary Octopuses inhabit almost all seas in the world. A new study on tropical species suggests that, as in vertebrates, folding in the brain and visual system might be linked to habitat and lifestyle.

Use of Peripheral Sensory Information for Central Nervous Control of Arm Movement by Octopus vulgaris
Highlights • Octopuses learn to direct arm movement on the basis of arm position • Octopuses learn to direct arm movement on the basis of tactile clues • The behaviors are not specific to a particular arm • Octopus brains receive and use proprioceptive and tactile input from the periphery Summary Octopuses are active predators with highly flexible bodies and rich behavioral repertoires [ 1 Gutnick T.

The underestimated giants: operant conditioning, visual discrimination and long-term memory in giant tortoises
Original Paper First Online: 13 November 2019 Shares 117 Downloads Abstract Relatively little is known about cognition in turtles, and most studies have focused on aquatic animals. Almost nothing is known about the giant land tortoises. These are visual animals that travel large distances in the wild, interact with each other and with their environment, and live extremely long lives.
Animal Behavior: Socializing Octopus
Building on the recently published Octopus bimaculoides genome, a new study identifies an evolutionarily conserved neural mechanism for serotonergic regulation of social behaviors.
