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.

Dissociating role of Bassoon in glutamatergic and dopaminergic neurons in alcohol‐related behaviour and affective state in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 3111-3128, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Alcohol abuse and affective disorders are severe comorbid psychiatric diseases characterized by impaired brain synaptic transmission. The role of presynaptic scaffolding proteins coordinating presynaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter release, such as Bassoon (Bsn), in the pathogenesis of these disorders remains elusive.
