OCTRON provides a segmentation and tracking pipeline for behavioral experiments, validated across species and setups.

Protocol for calcium imaging of acute brain slices from Octopus vulgaris hatchlings during application of neurotransmitters

This paper describes a protocol for calcium imaging in Octopus vulgaris brain slices to study single-cell responses to neurotransmitters.

Neurons, Muscles, and Venom: Elucidating a Neural-to-Secretory Pathway in Cephalopod Predation

The paper characterizes the structural and neuronal organization of venom glands in cephalopods and identifies molecular mechanisms regulating venom release.

Early life growth and cellular heterogeneity in the short-lived African turquoise killifish telencephalon

This study maps the telencephalon growth and cellular diversity in the African turquoise killifish during early post-embryonic development, identifying dynamic neurogenic niches and spatial differences in growth patterns.

Novel dopaminergic neurotransmission in the Octopus visual system

The paper identifies novel dopamine and acetylcholine ionotropic receptors in the octopus visual system, revealing distinct neurochemical mechanisms compared to mammals.

Ultrasound-based prediction of spawning time in females of Octopus vulgaris

This study uses ultrasound to predict spawning time in cultured and wild Octopus vulgaris by analyzing ovary volume and gonadosomatic index.

Loss of Elp3 impairs the maturation tempo of brain ependymal cells

This study shows that loss of Elp3 in mouse forebrain causes microcephaly and hydrocephalus due to impaired ependymal cell maturation and cilia dysfunction.

Z-chromosome dosage compensation and sex-specific long non-coding RNAs in octopus

This study identifies Z-chromosome dosage compensation and sex-specific long non-coding RNAs in octopus, revealing evolutionary conservation of dosage compensation mechanisms.

Single-cell sequencing unravels the cellular diversity that shapes neuro- and gliogenesis in the fast aging killifish (N. furzeri) brain

The paper uses scRNA-seq and ISO-seq to identify cell types in the killifish telencephalon, revealing progenitor diversity and neuronal subtypes involved in neuro- and gliogenesis.

Altered Socio-Affective Communication and Amygdala Development in mice with Protocadherin10-deficient Interneurons

This study shows that loss of Pcdh10 in interneurons affects socio-affective communication in mice, with heterozygous pups showing more pronounced behavioral changes.

A chromosome-level reference genome for the common octopus, Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier, 1797)

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the common octopus, O. vulgaris, which spans 2.8 billion basepairs and supports a karyotype of 1n=30 chromosomes.

Neuroanatomical characterization of the Nmu-Cre knock-in mice reveals an interconnected network of unique neuropeptidergic cells

The paper characterizes NMU-expressing neurons in the adult mouse brain using a Nmu-Cre knock-in model, revealing a midline modulatory circuit centered on the VMH.

Cell type diversity in a developing octopus brain

The paper profiles cell diversity in the paralarval octopus brain to create a cell type atlas and identifies molecular similarities between octopus and fly glial cells.

Optimization of Whole Mount RNA multiplexed in situ Hybridization Chain Reaction with Immunohistochemistry, Clearing and Imaging to visualize octopus neurogenesis

The paper optimizes a whole-mount multiplexed RNA in situ hybridization chain reaction (HCR v3.0) protocol combined with immunohistochemistry and imaging to visualize neurogenesis in octopus embryos.

Aging impairs the essential contributions of non-glial progenitors to neurorepair in the dorsal telencephalon of the Killifish N. furzeri

This study shows that aging impairs neurorepair in killifish by reducing non-glial progenitor activity and increasing inflammation and glial scarring.

Identification of neural progenitor cells and their progeny reveals long distance migration in the developing octopus brain

The paper identifies neural progenitor cells in octopus embryos and shows that newborn neurons migrate long distances to form the brain.

A practical staging atlas to study embryonic development of Octopus vulgaris under controlled laboratory conditions

This paper introduces a controlled incubation system and staging atlas for studying the embryonic development of Octopus vulgaris in a laboratory setting.
