DOI: 10.1242/jeb.209965
Abstract: ABSTRACT Spontaneous nerve regeneration in cephalopod molluscs occurs in a relative short time after injury, achieving functional recovery of lost capacity. In particular, transection of the pallial nerve in the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) determines… read more here.
