Cnidarians are the lowest animal group having a nervous system. In the primitive nervous systems of cnidarians, peptides play important roles as neurotransmitters or neurohormones. So far, we have isolated and sequenced about 35 neuropeptides from different cnidarian classes (Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Anthozoa).

AbstractHomeoboxes have previously been documented from various phyla of triploblastic, coelomate and pseudocoelomate, animals. We report here the first homeoboxes from cnidarians, a phylum of diploblastic organisms thought to occupy a near‐basal position in metazoan phylogeny.

The nervous systems of Cnidarians
1995Cnidarians have simple nervous systems and it was probably within this group or a closely-related ancestor that nervous systems first evolved. The basic plan of the cnidarian nervous system is that of a nerve net which, at some locations, has condensed to form nerve plexuses, or circular or longitudinal nerve tracts which may be syncytia.

The importance of cnidarian synapses for neurobiology
Journal of Neurobiology, 1989AbstractDespite being the most primitive organisms to possess a nervous system, cnidarians afford rare opportunities for studying various, general aspects of chemical synaptic transmission. This is made possible by the unique organization of their nervous systems and by the fact that in certain species the neurons and synapses are readily accessible ...

The nature of cnidarian desmocytes
Tissue and Cell, 1969The electron microscope reveals that the cnidarian desmocyte is an ectodermal cell which forms acidophil protein tonofibrillae intracellularly. One end of the cell is bound to mesogleal fibrils; the other becomes embedded in the thickening cuticle. The bundle of tonofibrillae later becomes rivet-shaped and the cell dies, but still the mesoglea remains ...

A focus on sea anemones throws the classic concept of germ layer homology on its head, as cnidarians are found to possess the gene expression programmes for three, rather than two, germ layers.

To understand the ancestral and evolved roles of zic homologs, it is important to reconstruct the putative roles of ancient zic homologs in the animal phylogeny. Most studies of zic genes have been conducted in model systems that are members of the bilaterian phylum. However, two additional phyla have zic homologs encoded in their genomes.

Cnidarians are the most primitive present-day invertebrates to have multicellular light-detecting organs, called ocelli (eyes). These photodetectors include simple eyespots, pigment cups, complex pigment cups with lenses, and camera-type eyes with a cornea, lens, and retina.

Pigment Effector Cells in a Cnidarian
Science, 1962Chromatophore complexes are described in the siphonophore Nanomia cara . The dispersion and concentration of pigment are related to variation in light intensity and do not appear to be endogenously influenced. The pigment, possibly an ommochrome, has an absorption maximum at 465 to 470 mμ.

Cnidarians are an ancient group of animals at the base of metazoan evolution. They exhibit a simple body plan with only one well-defined body axis and a small number of cell types. Cnidarians are also well known for their enormous regeneration capacity.
