Max Delbrück Center scientists say that we have common features with octopuses.
According to Professor Nikolaus Rajewsky, Scientific Director of the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology of the Max Delbrück Center, the study's findings might mean miRNAs play a crucial role in developing complex brains. "This is what connects us to the octopus!" says Rajewsky., which means they frequently use certain enzymes that can recode their RNA.
Octopuses are the only invertebrate species that are unmatched in terms of evolution. They possess core neural and peripheral nervous systems, the latter capable of operating independently. Even if an octopus loses a tentacle, the remaining tentacle is still mobile and touch-sensitive. The fact that octopuses utilize their arms so consciously, like tools to open shells, may be why they are the only animals to have evolved such complex
. Additionally, octopuses exhibit additional traits of intelligence, like curiosity and memory. They can identify persons and even favor some over others. Since their color and skin structure vary while they sleep, researchers now think that they even dream.

What octopus and human brains have in commonCephalopods like octopuses, squids and cuttlefish are highly intelligent animals with complex nervous systems. In Science Advances, a team led by Nikolaus Rajewsky of the Max Delbrück Center has now shown that their evolution is linked to a dramatic expansion of their microRNA repertoire.
