Happy to announce two new papers out in Nature today! One is on octopus sleep, where Neuropixels recordings shows a wake-like stage of 'active sleep' accompanied by rapidly changing skin patterns that match those of waking behavior https://t.co/wbtWcFHvYM
The interview of #OISTPhDStudent, Aditi Pophale, who is the first author of this paper has been interviewed! Check this out to get some tips how to be a successful PhD student.

Congratulations @SamAlbertReiter & Aditi✨🥳
@UW@OIST_TSVP@MpiBrain Nature did a nice summary video on the octopus work, where you can see first authors Aditi Pophale and Tomo Mano at work, and a rare citing of @CephWarden when he isn't diving. Octopus brain recordings were worked out by the inimitable Kazumichi Shimizu. https://t.co/FcLBLdRPLz
Both studies were wonderful collaborations, the octopus work with Leenoy Meshulam @UW and who visited Okinawa as part of @OIST_TSVP, and the cuttlefish work with the lab of Gilles Laurent @MpiBrain
