Scientists are studying cuttlefish to uncover how the animals achieve their remarkable camouflage. New reporting examines research into the cuttlefish brain and nervous system, which controls rapid changes in skin color and texture that let the creatures blend into almost any surroundings. The work could shed light on how brains map visual information onto complex skin patterns, a question that has long fascinated marine biologists and neuroscientists alike.
Why now: Fresh coverage of new research into the biology behind cuttlefish camouflage has drawn attention.
