This paper examines the cellular and synaptic organization of the octopus vertical lobe, identifying unique structural and functional features compared to other associative networks.

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.

mEMbrain provides an interactive MATLAB tool for connectomic segmentation, enabling user-friendly analysis of EM datasets with pre-trained networks and ground truth annotations.

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

This paper characterizes the neural elements and neuromodulatory systems in the octopus brain's vertical lobe, revealing new heterogeneity and roles in learning and memory.
