This is because rat neurons are much more efficient at pumping ions into the cell than squid neurons, say the team, resulting in squid using up more energy to generate a charge and transmit the signal.
To better coordinate bacteria, bioengineers Lingchong You and Frances Arnold of the California Institute of Technology and colleagues rewired a natural cell - signaling pathway from Vibrio fisheri, bacteria in the light organ of deep - sea squid.
British biophysicist Alan Lloyd Hodgkin won the shiny gold medal in 1963 for discovering how the nerve cells of squid generate an electrical pulse when stimulated
Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on April 20 have found that vampire squid differ from all other living coleoid cephalopods in their reproductive strategy as well.
Aside from its opaque eyes and the polka dot - like chromatophores (pigmented cells that aid in camouflage) that cover its body, the glass squid is completely transparent.

The investigators showed that kinesin movement corresponds to traffic from the center of a nerve cell to its axonal tips — and a different motor in the squid's cytoplasm, which was subsequently identified as dynein, travels in the opposite direction.
In this new work, «Ways to Scale», Cooper explores a type of genetic alteration which happens amongst cephalopods — squid, octopi, cuttlefish and nautiluses where they have the ability to alter the genetic makeup of their cells, fine - tuning the information encoded by their genes without altering the genes themselves.
