New brain map to explain how cuttlefish camouflage themselves
Neuroscientists at Queensland Brain Institute have created, for the first time, a detailed outline of the brain structure and neuronal network of the cuttlefish.
Findings of their research was published in the iScience journal.
Since the current understanding of the cuttlefish’s brain has been based on just the nocturnal European common cuttlefish species, the research team wanted to expand the research to include selected cuttlefish that are active during the day, and to compare with other species from the Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific regions.
