Abstract
ABSTRACT The vertical lobe is the topmost part of the brain of a cephalopod. It is the largest of a series of lobes, characterized by small cells and a dense neuropil, overlying parts of the supraoesophageal brain concerned with higher motor control. Because of its position it is easy to remove surgically.
