Cephalopod neurobiology : neuroscience studies in squid, octopus, and cuttlefish

edited by N.Joan Abbott, Roddy Williamson, and Linda Maddock

Cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish) are among the most intelligent invertebrates, with highly developed nervous systems which provide excellent model systems for investigating basic questions in neuroscience. In 32 chapters, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the functioning of the cephalopod nervous system, from the cellular level to their complex sensory systems, locomotion, learning, and social behaviour.
