Scientists have uncovered one of the most extraordinary abilities in nature: octopuses can edit up to 60% of their neural RNA in real time, essentially rewriting how their brains function. By doing this, they can create thousands of new proteins not directly coded in their DNA, allowing them to adapt memory, learning, and sensory perception within a single lifetime.
This may explain their famous problem-solving skills, tool use, and even their ability to recognize human faces. Unlike most animals that rely on slow genetic evolution, octopuses can reprogram themselves on demand, making them one of the most flexible and intelligent creatures on Earth.
