Model Organisms The Cephalopods:
A Neurological comparison between
Octopuses and Cuttlefish.
Presentation Overview
Overview
Getting to know the Octopus
Exploring the Cuttlefish
How are they alike and different
References
What is A Model Organism
A model organism is an organism that is studied to understand particular
biological phenomena.
Model organisms are typically easy to take care of and can be easily
manipulated and studied in a laboratory setting
Model organisms are well known anatomically and behaviorally.
Octopus Vulgaris
1 History in Research
The common octopus
is the most widely
researched octopus.
They are easily
accessible to
researchers.
Do well in captivity.
2 Range and Habitat
Biogeographical regions in
the Indian, eastern
Atlantic, and Pacific
oceans. Along with the
Mediterranean sea.
Mainly found in the coastal
waters near coral reefs.
Lives at depths of 100 - 150
meters.
3 Lifestyle and Diet
Octopuses like to live
a secluded lifestyle.
Life spans extend
from 1-2 years.
Known to eat
crustaceans, and
small bony fish.
Central Nervous
System of O. vulgaris
● The Optic lobes, the nervous system
of the arms and the central brain make
up the nervous system.
● The central brain is located in the brain
capsule that surrounds the esophagus.
● The optic lobes has three layers which
show similarities to the vertebrate
retina.
● The Peduncle lobe granule cells make
parallel fibers. These fibers are similar
to the folia in vertebrate cerebellum
● The VL is the highest functional lobe in
the central brain. It is similar to
hippocampus of the vertebrates. <http://tolweb.org/accessory/Ventral_View_of_Cephalopod_Brain?acc_id=
2128>.
Importance to Neurological Research
Evolutionary biologist and neurologist study the nervous systems of
octopuses to understand how our own nervous system evolved.
Memory and learning are popular subjects to study in these model
organisms.
It was found that octopuses MSF-VL system is similar to the hippocampus in
mammals.
High numbers of interneurons found in the MSF-VL in areas of learning and
memory show high redundancy of connections.
Sepia Officinalis
1 History in Research
This species of cuttlefish has
mainly been used for
researching the connections
between color display and
communication between
organisms, the area of the
brain that processes sight is
extremely large.
2 Range and Habitat
Mediterranean sea to as far
as South Africa.
This species of cuttlefish live
on sandy seabeds around
200m deep.
3 Lifestyle and Diet
Cuttlefish typically eat small
fish and crustaceans, they
are social animals and often
travel in groups interacting
with one another.
Importance to Neurological Research
The cuttlefish has complex communication methods using only color.
This can help us understand how animals communicate without the use of sound or facial
expressions, unlike other animals such as mammals and birds which use vocalization and body
movement to communicate.
Cephalopods are one of the most intelligent classes of animals on the planet, and understanding how
they communicate using color can help us better understand them as a species and help us better
understand communication between other animals.
The cuttlefish is a great model to use for this type of research because it uses exclusively color
patterns and signals to communicate, this is one of the only species that displays this behavior. Since
the cuttlefish is unique it can be used to compare with other species that might show changing color
displays and movement behavior, like chameleons.
Central Nervous System of
cuttlefish sp
The nervous system of S.
officinalis shows very large
development of the optical lobe.
What the Scientific Community Gained
Cuttlefish were used as a model organism to study imprinting, specifically food
imprinting.
An article published by the royal society stated that when the cuttlefish were
young, they were shown only a specific food source, and ate only that food
source
As they grew they were provided with alternate food sources but refused to eat
anything else except for the food source they had imprinted on.
Comparisons of Cuttlefish and Octopuses
Lack of shell- Octopuses do not have a shell, and a cuttlefish has an internal
shell called the cuttlebone.
Cuttlefish fish use Hemocyanin for oxygen transport (blue-green pigment),
Octopuses use Hemoglobin.
Both have eight arms, but cuttlefish have two tentacles and they have a
shorter arm to body length
Comparing the nervous systems
The octopus brain is closer to a vertebrate brain
than to its close relatives
They have 500 million neurons compared to
lower molluscs which have 20,000
Cuttlefish can transform from one color to
another in 1 second, and in a few seconds turn a
wide range of colors all controlled by the
nervous system

Model organism the octopus and cuttlefish (1)

  • 1. By Addison, Sarai, and Marisa Model Organisms The Cephalopods: A Neurological comparison between Octopuses and Cuttlefish.
  • 2. Presentation Overview Overview Getting to know the Octopus Exploring the Cuttlefish How are they alike and different References
  • 3. What is A Model Organism A model organism is an organism that is studied to understand particular biological phenomena. Model organisms are typically easy to take care of and can be easily manipulated and studied in a laboratory setting Model organisms are well known anatomically and behaviorally.
  • 4. Octopus Vulgaris 1 History in Research The common octopus is the most widely researched octopus. They are easily accessible to researchers. Do well in captivity. 2 Range and Habitat Biogeographical regions in the Indian, eastern Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. Along with the Mediterranean sea. Mainly found in the coastal waters near coral reefs. Lives at depths of 100 - 150 meters. 3 Lifestyle and Diet Octopuses like to live a secluded lifestyle. Life spans extend from 1-2 years. Known to eat crustaceans, and small bony fish.
  • 5. Central Nervous System of O. vulgaris ● The Optic lobes, the nervous system of the arms and the central brain make up the nervous system. ● The central brain is located in the brain capsule that surrounds the esophagus. ● The optic lobes has three layers which show similarities to the vertebrate retina. ● The Peduncle lobe granule cells make parallel fibers. These fibers are similar to the folia in vertebrate cerebellum ● The VL is the highest functional lobe in the central brain. It is similar to hippocampus of the vertebrates. <http://tolweb.org/accessory/Ventral_View_of_Cephalopod_Brain?acc_id= 2128>.
  • 6. Importance to Neurological Research Evolutionary biologist and neurologist study the nervous systems of octopuses to understand how our own nervous system evolved. Memory and learning are popular subjects to study in these model organisms. It was found that octopuses MSF-VL system is similar to the hippocampus in mammals. High numbers of interneurons found in the MSF-VL in areas of learning and memory show high redundancy of connections.
  • 7. Sepia Officinalis 1 History in Research This species of cuttlefish has mainly been used for researching the connections between color display and communication between organisms, the area of the brain that processes sight is extremely large. 2 Range and Habitat Mediterranean sea to as far as South Africa. This species of cuttlefish live on sandy seabeds around 200m deep. 3 Lifestyle and Diet Cuttlefish typically eat small fish and crustaceans, they are social animals and often travel in groups interacting with one another.
  • 8. Importance to Neurological Research The cuttlefish has complex communication methods using only color. This can help us understand how animals communicate without the use of sound or facial expressions, unlike other animals such as mammals and birds which use vocalization and body movement to communicate. Cephalopods are one of the most intelligent classes of animals on the planet, and understanding how they communicate using color can help us better understand them as a species and help us better understand communication between other animals. The cuttlefish is a great model to use for this type of research because it uses exclusively color patterns and signals to communicate, this is one of the only species that displays this behavior. Since the cuttlefish is unique it can be used to compare with other species that might show changing color displays and movement behavior, like chameleons.
  • 9. Central Nervous System of cuttlefish sp The nervous system of S. officinalis shows very large development of the optical lobe.
  • 10. What the Scientific Community Gained Cuttlefish were used as a model organism to study imprinting, specifically food imprinting. An article published by the royal society stated that when the cuttlefish were young, they were shown only a specific food source, and ate only that food source As they grew they were provided with alternate food sources but refused to eat anything else except for the food source they had imprinted on.
  • 11. Comparisons of Cuttlefish and Octopuses Lack of shell- Octopuses do not have a shell, and a cuttlefish has an internal shell called the cuttlebone. Cuttlefish fish use Hemocyanin for oxygen transport (blue-green pigment), Octopuses use Hemoglobin. Both have eight arms, but cuttlefish have two tentacles and they have a shorter arm to body length
  • 12. Comparing the nervous systems The octopus brain is closer to a vertebrate brain than to its close relatives They have 500 million neurons compared to lower molluscs which have 20,000 Cuttlefish can transform from one color to another in 1 second, and in a few seconds turn a wide range of colors all controlled by the nervous system
