Octopuses are among the most neurologically complex invertebrates, famed for their extraordinary dexterity. Their eight arms allow them to capture hidden prey, communicate, explore, and even mate ...

Octopuses aren’t just flexible—they’re astonishingly strategic. A new study reveals how their eight arms coordinate with surprising precision: front arms for exploring, back arms for locomotion, and ...

Octopus arms are one of the most flexible structures known in all of the biological world. Their agility is so extraordinary that robotics researchers want to learn the secrets behind their movements, ...

Octopuses typically have eight limbs that are called arms. Because the limbs have suction cups for its entire length, they are called arms instead of tentacles. Octopus arms can help the sea creatures ...

New research has revealed that the nervous system circuitry that controls arm movement in octopuses is segmented, giving these extraordinary creatures precise control across all eight arms and ...

The study is the first to relate arm movements in octopuses in the wild to whole animal behaviors in complex, real-world settings. Octopuses are among the most neurologically complex invertebrates, ...
