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

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

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.

A new study suggests that the octopus's brain is similar to the human's as we first theorized. The findings add to the search for the evolutionary resemblance between our features and other animals alongside ape species. 

New research reveals that the human and octopus brain both share the same 'jumping genes.'

Two species of octopus and humans share similar 'jumping genes'.

Una investigación italiana mostró que los mismos 'genes saltadores' que están activos en el cerebro humano también están presentes en el cerebro de dos especies: el Octopus vulgaris, el pulpo común, y el Octopus bimaculoides, el pulpo californiano.

New research has identified an important molecular analogy that could explain the remarkable intelligence of these fascinating invertebrates.

A study by Italian scientists showed that the same types of jumping genes are active both in the human brain and in that of two species of cephalopod molluscs of the family Octopodidae: Octopus vulgaris, which is the common octopus; and the 'Octopus bimaculoides', also called Californian octopus.

Research shows that same "jumping genes" are active both in a brain of the person, and in a brain of an ordinary octopus (Octopus vulgaris) and the Californian octopus (Octopus bimaculoides), reports Italian Nauchny higher education institution to SISSA.

There must be secret linguistic communication between dark matter and common matter in the Universe. What is this? Gravity may be the reason for this discussion. A new SISSA study published in "The Astrophysical Journal" sheds light on this long-standing issue.

The SWC are pleased to announced a Seminar by Dr Eleonora Russo, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz About this Event Talk Title: Identification of coding-structures for cognition and behaviour Abstract: Neuronal dynamics is the result of a multitude of biological processes that coexist and interplay at different time scales.

According to an instutition, researchers at the International School for Advanced Studies (ISSA) in Italy may have just discovered the explanation for the remarkable intelligence in octopuses and active jumping genes.

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

Une étude menée par des scientifiques italiens a montré que les mêmes types de gènes sauteurs sont actifs à la fois dans le cerveau humain et dans celui de deux espèces de mollusques céphalopodes de la famille des « Octopodidae »: le « Octopus vulgaris », qui est la pieuvre commune; et le « Octopus bimaculoides », également appelé poulpe californien.

Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) Neurobiology Sector specialist and lead author of the research Remo Sanges explained in the institute's press release that the discovery of the LINE genome group in a couple of octopus species is important for us to confirm that these jumping genes have essential functions more than copy and paste.

Uma pesquisa publicada na BMC Biology e coordenada pela Escola Internacional de Estudos Avançados (SISSA) mostra que esses genes estão presentes tanto no cérebro quanto no cérebro de duas espécies de polvos.

Uma equipe de pesquisadores internacionais fez uma descoberta surpreendente: o cérebro humano e o cérebro do polvo compartilham os mesmos "genes saltadores".
