...Cinzia Metallo; Barry A. Trimmer Recent major advances in understanding the organizational principles underlying motor control have focused on a small number of animal species with stiff articulated skeletons. These model systems have the advantage of easily quantifiable mechanics, but the neural...

... of the octopus exposes the uniqueness of the four components comprising the octopus' embodiment. Considering together the results from behavioral, physiological, anatomical, and motor control research suggests that these four elements mutually influence each other. It is this mutual interactions and self...

...-to-bend, neural control over both the timing and the rostral-caudal locus of bending. This degree of ‘fine axial motor control’ has not previously been described in the teleost behavioral literature and is notable because it occurs in larval zebrafish, where descending control signals are funneled through...
