The paper investigates how genomic changes in coleoid cephalopods shape 3D genome architecture and regulatory landscapes, revealing species-specific chromatin loops and their role in neural development.

The paper identifies multiple longitudinal fiber tracts in the cephalopod arm sensorimotor system, revealing intrinsic connections for coordinated arm and sucker movements.

This study examines the cellular organization and molecular composition of the octopus sucker ganglion, revealing its role in local reflexes rather than as a simple relay for the axial nerve cord.

This study describes the segmented neuronal organization of the octopus arm's axial nerve cord, revealing modular structure and functional implications for motor control.

The paper identifies signaling ligand heterogeneities in the octopus peduncle complex, revealing steroidogenic and neuropeptide-expressing territories within the olfactory lobe.
