New semester, new project! We received three Octopus Rubescens and will begin studying their peripheral nervous system and see how memory is stored and integrated.

Thanks for responding! Yes we have just recently completed the pilot trial of our study. We were successful in conditioning the octopus to two separate textures. If you are interested in learning more and are in the area Andrew and I will be presenting at the Undergraduate Research Symposium this Thursday April 21 at the Illini Union between 9 and 10:15.
