A new study published in Science Advances examines the mechanics and physics behind the extraordinary flexibility and dexterity of octopus arms. Commenters are sharing the paper while praising octopuses for their intelligence and skill, with some taking the opportunity to criticise Prevagen, the memory supplement marketed with jellyfish ingredients that regulators have challenged. The research is drawing attention for its insights into soft-body movement and potential robotics applications.

A Popular Science report highlights that octopuses can use mirrors, adding to growing evidence of their unusual intelligence among invertebrates. Mirror self-recognition has long been considered a marker of advanced cognition, previously demonstrated mainly in mammals, birds and fish. The finding is drawing interest from scientists and marine biology enthusiasts discussing what it reveals about the evolution of intelligent behavior.

A Popular Science report examines how smart octopuses really are, focusing on their ability to respond to mirrors. The piece explores what mirror behaviour reveals about cephalopod cognition and self-awareness, adding to ongoing research suggesting octopuses are among the most intelligent invertebrates, capable of problem-solving and complex behaviours.

A Popular Science report examines octopus intelligence, highlighting their ability to respond to mirrors. The piece adds to a growing body of research suggesting these invertebrates possess remarkable cognitive abilities, from problem-solving to possible self-recognition. Scientists have long debated how to measure intelligence in animals so different from humans, and octopuses keep challenging assumptions about where complex minds can evolve.
