Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1311-1333, June 2026.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.
