An Atlas for the dwarf cuttlefish, Sepia bandensis has been added to BrainGlobe
- 10 March 2025
Cephalopods are fascinating model organisms for neuroscience research. The dwarf cuttlefish in particular (Sepia bandensis) is known for its camouflage using dynamic skin pattern changes, but it is also known to display social communication behaviour. In 2023, Montague et al. created a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) atlas by combining data from 8 dwarf cuttlefish brains (4 female, 4 male) using deep learning. The cuttlefish atlas provides researchers with a useful resource for investigating the neural processes governing cephalopod behaviour.
