    The brain, optic lobes, and the highly developed arm nervous system are the three main components of the octopus nervous system. [15] Each arm of the octopus has been described as having its own brain, where individual processing, motor systems, and sensory exploration can occur. This is where the concept that octopus have many brains comes ...
