Electrical Coupling Characteristics of Chromatophore Muscles in Hatchling Squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana
Meeting Abstract 108-4 Saturday, Jan. 6 14:30 – 14:45 Electrical Coupling Characteristics of Chromatophore Muscles in Hatchling Squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana LIU, Y-C*; GRASSE, B; University of Utah; Marine Biological Laboratory yen-chyi.liu@neuro.utah.edu Cephalopods have remarkable camouflage abilities that rely on the expansion and contraction of tiny pigment organs in the skin called chromatophores. These organs are composed of […]
