studying neurogenesis in cephalopods - UMR BOREA
... The nervous system of cephalopods exhibits numerous sensorial and structural innovations among molluscs. Their developed central nervous system (ganglia fused into a brain) has been used as a comparative model to vertebrates (Young, 1971, 1974, 1976; Messenger, 1979; Hochner et al., 2003) and giant ...
