Why now?
In the last 100 years research in cephalopod biology, particularly octopus, squid and cuttlefish has made major contributions to several areas of science and neuroscience in particular. Cephalopod biology research is very active in a number of European and Mediterranean countries with topics include for example construction of a “robot octopus”, vision and behaviour in cuttlefish, cephalopod genome, nociception in octopus, 3D mapping of the octopus brain, neurosteroids and tracking cephalopod behaviour using telemetry.
This workshop will critically review current cephalopod research from a European perspective and specifically examine the potential of cephalopods as “model animals” to address a range of research questions from molecular neuroscience to ecology.
