Weight Discrimination by Octopus
Blinded octopuses can readily be taught to discriminate between objects touched provided that these differ in 'roughness'; objects with equally irregular surfaces, differing only in the distribution of irregularities, and objects of similar texture but different shape, are not distinguished. It seems that the animals are incapable of learning to recognize specific patterns of stimulation in the...
متن کاملSeasonal Variations of Fat and Fatty Acid Composition in Muscle Tissues of Mediterranean Octopuses
The effects of seasons on lipid and fatty acid profiles of muscle types (mantle and arm) of Mediterranean octopuses (common octopus-Octopus vulgaris and musky octopus-Eledone moschata) were investigated. The results showed that lipid levels ranged from 0.75% to 1.60% in both muscle types of octopuses which were considered as lean. Lipid levels in mantle tissues of both octopus species were hig...
متن کاملThe Function of the Brain of Octopus in Tactile Discrimination
INTRODUCTION In a previous survey of the capabilities of the tactile nervous system of Octopus (Wells & Wells, 1956) evidence was presented suggesting that the brain correlates information from sense organs in the arms in a relatively simple manner. Animals trained to discriminate between objects differing only in their non-chemical surface characteristics could distinguish surfaces differing i...
متن کاملSeparation of different pollen types by chemotactile sensing in Bombus terrestris.
When tasting food, animals rely on chemical and tactile cues, which determine the animal's decision on whether to eat food. As food nutritional composition has enormous consequences for the survival of animals, food items should generally be tasted before they are eaten or collected for later consumption. Even though recent studies have confirmed the importance of, for example, gustatory cues, ...
