Insane in the Chromatophores
www.facebook.com During experiments on the axons of the Woods Hole squid (loligo pealei), we tested our cockroach leg stimulus protocol (an iPod) on the squid's chromatophores. The results were both interesting and beautiful. More details can be found here: news.backyardbrains.com and an explanation of how it works can be found on our TED talk: on.ted.com For our friends in Germany, we uploaded to Vimeo as well vimeo.com Acknowledgements: Paloma T. Gonzalez-Bellido of Roger Hanlon's Lab in the Marine Resource Center of the Marine Biological Labs helped us with the preparation. "Insane in the Brain" is copyrighted by Cypress Hill (1993)

Chromatophore Signaling
Cephalopods, members of the phylum Mollusca, are able to modify body color patterns instantly allowing them to fit environmental cues. Alteration of body pattern is a behavioral adaptation in many organisms, especially in the cuttlefish, which uses them for cryptic coloration* (including countershading behavior**), communicative signaling between conspecifics and agonistic coloration. For example, agonistic behavior between male cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis , adopts a specific body pattern called the Intense Zebra Display (Adamo and Hanlon 1996). Immediate color changes are generated by the retraction and expansion of chromotaphores (review by Messenger 2001). Chromatophores of cephalopods differ from other marine organisms in that they are neuromuscular organs rather than cells and are not hormonally controlled. At the center of the chromatophore organ is a large, elastic sacculus containing either a red, brown, orange or yellow pigment. Each chromatophore is surrounded by a set of radial muscles that are under direct neural control. The body's epidermal pattern can be altered rapidly by contraction of the radial muscles, forcing the pigment towards the surface. Stimulated muscles contract, expanding the chromatophore. While relaxed, the energy stored in the elastic sacculus causes the chromatophore to retract. The following footage shows the instant change in body patterns in the cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis . At the onset of pursuit the cuttlefish displays a ...

Dancing Chromatophores of the squid, Loligo pealeii
Chromatophores are muscle-controlled pigment cells in the skin of cephalopods, such as squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. These chromatophores expand and contract on command in order to help the animal blend in with its surroundings, or to communicate with other animals.

Camouflaging artificial muscles that mimic squids and zebrafish
Researchers from the University of Bristol have created artificial muscles that can be transformed at the flick of a switch to mimic the remarkable camouflaging abilities of nature's organisms. Two individual mechanisms are demonstrated in this video based on the colour-changing effects seen in squid and zebrafish. The published version of the paper "Biomimetic chromatophores for camouflage and soft active surfaces" (Bioinspir. Biomim. 7 036009) will be freely available online from 2 May. It will be available at iopscience.iop.org

Artificial zebrafish chromatophore
Zebrafish-inspired artificial chromatophore. Here we show how soft electroactive polymer artificial muscles can pump pigmented fluid into, and out of, a display chamber. This action mimicks the striking colour change in natural melanophores found in the skins of a number of animals including the teleost fishes.

Dead squid chromatophores
The cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid and octopus) are famous for their ability to change colours. Even when dead, the chromatophores (the pigment-containing cells) are still active for some time, as seen in this recently dead bigfin reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana), found at Tanah Merah.
