Paragraph 2
The scientists say their
findings are important as they give an
into how octopuses amend their behaviour in
to different stimuli. Scientists describe this process as "behavioural plasticity". Biologist Graziano Fiorito suggested that the research could help us understand more about intelligence in
. He said: "The brain of the octopus is
analogous in many of its
to that of mammals....For this reason [the DNA] represents a very interesting
to study to improve our knowledge of the
of intelligence." He says the brain
of octopuses may mean the creatures are more similar to mammals than invertebrates and other sea
.
