Coleoid cephalopods, including squid, cuttlefish and octopus, have large and complex nervous systems and camera-type eyes that are comparable only to features that have independently evolved in the vertebrate lineage. The changes in development that result in the evolution of nervous system size and diversity of neural cell-types are not well understood. Here, we have pioneered live-imaging techniques and performed functional interrogation to show the squid, Doryteuthis pealeii, utilizes mechanisms during retinal neurogenesis that are hallmarks of vertebrate processes. Given the convergent evolution of elaborate visual systems in cephalopods and vertebrates, these results reveal common mechanisms that underlie the growth of highly prolifera...
