Here we delineate neural and behavioural correlates of two stages of sleep in octopuses, marine invertebrates that evolutionarily diverged from vertebrates roughly 550 million years ago (ref. 5) and have independently evolved large brains and behavioural sophistication. ‘Quiet’ sleep in
Main Vertebrate rapid eye movements (REMs) and slow wave sleep are characterized by a core set of behavioural and electrophysiological correlates, and proposed cognitive functions13,14,15 while showing a rich diversity of species-specific features15. If the functions ascribed to two-stage sleep are truly general, then one may expect to find neural and behavioural correlates of two-stage sleep widely among animals showing complex cognitive abilities. Octopuses are among the largest brained invertebrates and demonstrate a range of sophisticated behaviours16, making them ideal for testing the…
