It has been 70 years since Donald Hebb published his formalized theory of synaptic
adaptation during learning. Hebb's seminal work foreshadowed some of the great …

Cephalopod and vertebrate neural-systems are often highlighted as a traditional example of
convergent evolution. Their large brains, relative to body size, and complexity of sensory …

RNA editing, a post-transcriptional process, allows the diversification of proteomes beyond
the genomic blueprint; however it is infrequently used among animals for this purpose …

With their large brains, elaborate sense organs and complex behaviour, cephalopods are
among the world's most highly evolved invertebrates. This second edition summarises the …

This paper reports the rationale and design of a robotic arm, as inspired by an octopus arm.
The octopus arm shows peculiar features, such as the ability to bend in all directions, to …

Comparative analysis of brain function in invertebrates with sophisticated behaviors, such as
the octopus, may advance our understanding of the evolution of the neural processes that …

Octopuses, which are among the most intelligent invertebrates, 1, 2, 3, 4 have no skeleton
and eight flexible arms whose sensory and motor activities are at once autonomous and …

The octopus is an invertebrate sea animal, considered as an interesting model of inspiration
in robotics, due to its high dexterity, variable stiffness, and very complex behaviours, if …

From January 2013 scientific projects involving cephalopods became regulated by Directive
2010/63/EU, but at present there is little guidance specifically for cephalopods on a number …

Cephalopods have been utilised in neuroscience research for more than 100 years
particularly because of their phenotypic plasticity, complex and centralised nervous system …
