| summary | From the point of view of an ethologist or a neuroscientist, the complexity of their behavioural repertoires and of their complex nervous system makes cuttlefish among the most advanced invertebrates. Experiments on spatial cognition have demonstrated surprising similarities with vertebrates (multiple spatial strategies, encoding of redundant spatial cues, and plasticity in choosing the more appropriate spatial strategy…). More recently, studies on visual lateralization in cuttlefish have shown the importance of early experience on its development, demonstrating another time that genetic factors are definitely not paramount in cuttlefish. |
