Octopuses are curious and clever. They can solve mazes and puzzles, use tools, and are masters of camouflage. These complex abilities are powered by their sophisticated and giant brains.

Now, in the journal , researchers report that octopuses are able to edit genetic information to quickly resculpt those brains when confronted with changes in their environment.

These findings cast new light on the incredible adaptability of these shape-shifting creatures and may help scientists design therapeutics for problematic mutations in our own bodies.
