Squid found to have far more sensory hair cells than thought
Original: 🦑 NEWS: Researchers at Case Western Reserve University found that # squid carry far more hair cells across their bodies
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have found that squid carry far more hair cells across their bodies than previously known. Using light sheet microscopy, the team built the first full-body map of these sensory clusters and observed that the hair bundles vary in length, hinting at more complex sensing abilities in squid than scientists had assumed.
Why now: A newly published mapping of squid sensory systems challenges previous assumptions about how squid perceive their environment.
