Un estudio de científicos italianos mostró que los mismos tipos de genes saltadores están activos tanto en el cerebro humano como en el de dos especies de moluscos cefalópodos de la familia 'Octopodidae'.

Para los científicos, el pulpo es un organismo excepcional con un cerebro extremadamente complejo que tiene habilidades cognitivas únicas entre los invertebrados. Tanto que en cierto modo tiene más en común con los vertebrados que con los invertebrados, según se da conocer en un comunicado sobre el descubrimiento publicado por la Escuela Internacional Superior de Estudios Avanzados (SISSA) de Trieste.  

New research identifies important molecular analogy that could explain the remarkable intelligence of the octopus.

The neural and cognitive complexity of these animals could originate from a molecular analogy with the human brain, as discovered by a research paper that was recently published in BMC Biology and coordinated by Remo Sanges from Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) of Trieste and by Graziano Fiorito from Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Naples. 

Study shows two species of octopuses have same molecular analogy as human brain.

A new study reveals some genetic overlap between the brains of humans and octopuses.

El pulpo es dueño de un cerebro muy complejo y unas capacidades cognitivas que son únicas entre los invertebrados. Tanto es así que, en determinados aspectos, se parece más a un vertebrado que a un invertebrado. Ahora, un nuevo estudio publicado en BMC Biology podría explicar el porqué de su avanzado cerebro.

New research shows that the same jumping genes are active both in the human brain and in the brain of two species: the common octopus ( Octopus vulgaris ) and the Californian octopus ( Octopus bimaculoides ). 

Scientists have already established that octopuses are smarter than your average insectebrate, but a new finding demonstrates one of the reasons why: a specific molecular analogy with the human brain.

Researchers at the International School for Advanced Studies (ISSA) in Italy may have just discovered the reason for octopuses' incredible intelligence and active jumping genes. 

The extraordinary intelligence of the octopus could derive from some 'dancing' genes that move from one point to another in the DNA: also present in the human brain, they could be associated with cognitive abilities such as learning and memory. This is indicated by an international research coordinated by Remo Sanges of the International School of Advanced Studies (Sissa) of Trieste and by Graziano Fiorito of the Anton Dohrn Zoological Station of Naples.

Scientists have already established that octopuses are smarter than your common invertebrate, however a brand new discovery suggests one of many the reason why: a particular molecular analogy with the human mind.

In a new study, transposons belonging to the LINE (Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements) family have been discovered in the part of the octopus brain that handles cognitive abilities - a similar spot to where they can be found in the human brain.

Les poulpes sont particulièrement intelligents. Mais l'étude de leur cerveau vient de révéler qu'ils ont une similarité avec nous au niveau moléculaire dans leurs fonctions cérébrales. [...] Le laboratoire italien SISSA, qui en est à l'origine, décrypte ces résultats dans un communiqué du 24 juin.
