In the upper left box you can see all parts of the neuron in this model, the external structure and internal compartment (ER) that holds calcium (yellow), and the proteins involved in opening the calcium channel (blue, bright magenta and dark magenta).   In the other boxes, you can see the calcium or each protein separately to watch their movements and activation.  In the bottom center, you can see the numerical data in real time as the model runs.

Octopus bimaculoides, also known as the Californian two-spot octopus, crawling an aquarium wall Video: Z. Yan Wang, University of Chicago

The Crown-of-Thorns starfish were left in an aquatic Y-shaped maze overnight (on top). In one of the smaller branches (bottom left on the left-hand tank and bottom right on the right-hand tank) scientists added water collected around starfish aggregations from inside an aquarium, suspecting they communicate through water-borne signals to gather in huge populations during spawning events. The COTS can be seen moving towards these specific locations, suggesting the animal reacts to molecules induced by another COTS.
