Cognition, brain and evolution. Cuttlefish preschool or how to learn in the peri-hatching period / Evolution of behavioral and neural complexity : learning and memory in chambered Nautilus / Learning from play in octopus / The neurophysiological basis of learning and memory in an advanced invertebrate : the octopus / The octopus with two brains : how are distributed and central representations integrated in the octopus central nervous system? / Cognition and the environment. Foraging and cognitive competence in octopuses / Navigation in cephalopods / Camouflage in benthic cephalopods : what does it teach us? / Cuttlefish camouflage : vision and cognition / Visual cognition in deep-sea cephalopods : what we don't know and why we don't know it / Anne-Sophie Darmaillacq, Christelle Jozet-Alves, Cécile Bellanger and Ludovic Dickel ; Jennifer Basil and Robyn Crook ; Michael J. Kuba, Tamar Gutnick and Gordon M. Burghardt ; Binyamin Hochner and Tal Shomrat ; Frank W. Grasso -- Jennifer A. Mather, Tatiana S. Leite, Roland C. Anderson and James B.

Part II. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Cephalopods are generally regarded as the most intelligent group among the invertebrates. Despite their popularity, relatively little is known about the range and function of their cognitive abilities. This book fills that gap, accentuating the varied and fascinating aspects of cognition across the group. Starting with the brain, learning and memory, Part I looks at early learning, memory acquisition and cognitive development in modern cephalopods. An analysis of the chambered nautilus, a living fossil, is included, providing insight into the evolution of behavioural complexity. Part II surveys environmental responses, especially within the active and learning-dependent coleoids. The ever-intriguing camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish are highlighted, alongside bioluminescence, navigation and other aspects of visual and cognitive competence. Covering the range of cognitive function, this text underscores the importance of the cephalopods within the field of comparative cognition generally. It will be highly valuable for researchers, graduates and senior undergraduate students.
