Neurotransmitters of sleep and wakefulness in flatworms
Sleep, 2022 Abstract Study Objectives Sleep is a prominent behavioral and biochemical state observed in all animals studied, including platyhelminth flatworms. Investigations into the biochemical mechanisms associated with sleep—and wakefulness—are important for understanding how these states are regulated and ...

Do Not Lose Your Head over the Unequal Regeneration Capacity in Prolecithophoran Flatworms
Biology, 2022 One of the central questions in studying the evolution of regeneration in flatworms remains whether the ancestral flatworm was able to regenerate all body parts, including the head.

Developmental diversity in free-living flatworms [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2012 Flatworm embryology has attracted attention since the early beginnings of comparative evolutionary biology. Considered for a long time the most basal bilaterians, the Platyhelminthes (excluding Acoelomorpha) are now robustly placed within the Spiralia ...

First Detection of Tetrodotoxins in the Cotylean Flatworm Prosthiostomum trilineatum
Marine Drugs, 2021 Several polyclad flatworm species are known to contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX), but currently TTX-bearing flatworms seem to be restricted to specific Planocera lineages belonging to the suborder Acotylea.
