A spinal cord injury in most vertebrates likely inhibits locomotion and induces paralysis—not so in eels. They not only possess the ability to move through water, and surprisingly, across land when ...

Octopuses aren’t just flexible—they’re astonishingly strategic. A new study reveals how their eight arms coordinate with ...

Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...

A neural circuit model tested in amphibious robots developed at EPFL shows how multisensory feedback enables eels to swim even after a spinal cord injury, while also providing new insights into the ...

To build their visual dictionary, the researchers examined two hours of video footage each of 25 wild octopuses in a variety ...

Harvard scientists have discovered new evolutionary changes in pelvic structure that allowed the first humans to walk upright ...

Did you know eels are one of the few vertebrates capable of swimming even when their spinal cords are completely severed? How they do this has long ...

Octopuses aren't eight-handed, so to speak, and instead of using all of their arms equally they prefer certain ones for specific tasks, new research has found. The research, led by marine biologist ...
