The octopus nervous system is among the most unusual on Earth. Unlike in other intelligent animals, it's highly distributed, with a significant proportion of its 500 million-odd neurons spread ...

These intelligent sea creatures have multiple brains — nine, to be exact. In addition to a central brain located between its ...

But, unlike vertebrate organisms, the octopus’s nervous system is also decentralized, with around 350 million neurons, or 66 percent of it, located in its eight arms.

Octopus arms move with incredible dexterity, bending, twisting, and curling with nearly infinite degrees of freedom. New research from the University of Chicago revealed that the nervous system ...

At the heart of each arm is a structure known as the axial nervous cord ... nervous system.” The inner workings of octopus arms might seem a world away from everyday human life, ...

“If you're going to have a nervous system that's controlling such dynamic movement, that's a good way to set it up,” said Dr Clifton Ragsdale, Professor of Neurobiology at UChicago and senior ...

Octopuses don’t think like we do. In fact, most of their neurons aren’t in their brains at all. Instead, they’re spread ...
