Happy to announce two new papers out in Nature today! One is on octopus sleep, where Neuropixels recordings shows a wake-like stage of 'active sleep' accompanied by rapidly changing skin patterns that match those of waking behavior rdcu.be/dfAQt

Both studies were wonderful collaborations, the octopus work with Leenoy Meshulam @UW and who visited Okinawa as part of @OIST_TSVP, and the cuttlefish work with the lab of Gilles Laurent @MpiBrain

Nature did a nice summary video on the octopus work, where you can see first authors Aditi Pophale and Tomo Mano at work, and a rare citing of @CephWarden when he isn't diving. Octopus brain recordings were worked out by the inimitable Kazumichi Shimizu. youtube.com/watch?v=006DjAix…

When octopuses sleep, strange patterns sometimes flicker across the...

Former postdoc, now faculty @MBLScience, Abhishek Kumar, built a diSPIM as part of our collaboration w co-mentor Hari Shroff. He imaged a baby cuttlefish, and the image is now the logo of a beer can from local microbrew. Achievement unlocked.
