DOI: 10.1016/j.conb.2018.12.004
Abstract: Cnidarians shared a common ancestor with bilaterians more than 600 million years ago. This sister group relationship gives them an informative phylogenetic position for understanding the fascinating morphological and molecular cell type diversity of bilaterian… read more here.

Neuropeptides in gut-brain axis and their influence on host immunity and stress
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal"
DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2020.02.018
Abstract: In recent decades, neuropeptides have been found to play a major role in communication along the gut-brain axis. Various neuropeptides are expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, where they facilitate the crosstalk between… read more here.

Back to the Basics: Cnidarians Start to Fire
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Trends in Neurosciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2016.11.005
Abstract: The nervous systems of cnidarians, pre-bilaterian animals that diverged close to the base of the metazoan radiation, are structurally simple and thus have great potential to reveal fundamental principles of neural circuits. Unfortunately, cnidarians have… read more here.

Mergeable nervous systems for robots (vol 8, 439, 2017)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01622-0
Abstract: Robots have the potential to display a higher degree of lifetime morphological adaptation than natural organisms. By adopting a modular approach, robots with different capabilities, shapes, and sizes could, in theory, construct and reconfigure themselves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01677063.2018.1464568
Abstract: Abstract In the last years, glial cells have emerged as central players in the development and function of complex nervous systems. Therefore, the concept of glial cells has evolved from simple supporting cells to essential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abo2416
Abstract: Apical organs are relatively simple larval nervous systems. The extent to which apical organs are evolutionarily related to the more complex nervous systems of other animals remains unclear. To identify common developmental mechanisms, we analyzed… read more here.
