The paper identifies a novel NO-dependent molecular switch in octopus VL that mediates LTP through persistent NOS activation and retrograde NO diffusion.

This study identifies a NO-dependent molecular-memory-switch that mediates presynaptic LTP expression and postsynaptic maintenance in the octopus brain, independent of protein synthesis and NMDA receptors.

The paper analyzes the connectome of the Octopus vulgaris vertical lobe, identifying novel synaptic structures and functional roles in memory acquisition.
