"Scientists Develop Transparent Squid with Exposed Brain"

Scientists have used CRISPR gene editing technology to create a transparent version of a hummingbird bobtail squid, allowing researchers to study its biology more effectively. By removing the pigment, the squid becomes almost completely transparent, revealing its three hearts and brain when light hits it at the right angle. This breakthrough has enabled brain scientists to study the squid's brain activity by inserting a fluorescent dye and projecting images onto a screen, leading to a better understanding of cephalopods and other living creatures.
