Abstract
Gutnick et al. show that octopuses use proprioceptive and tactile information from the periphery to accomplish learning tasks that entail directed control of arm movement. Using two-choice, single-arm mazes, they show that octopuses learn operant motor tasks that require the brain to use focal sensory information from a single arm.
