Expression Analysis of Cnidarian-Specific Neuropeptides in a Sea Anemone Unveils an Apical-Organ-Associated Nerve Net That Disintegrates at Metamorphosis. [PDF]
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne), 2020 Neuropeptides are ancient neuronal signaling molecules that have diversified across Cnidaria (e.g., jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones) and its sister group Bilateria (e.g., vertebrates, insects, and worms).

Syncytial nerve net in a ctenophore adds insights on the evolution of nervous systems. [PDF]
Science, 2023 A fundamental breakthrough in neurobiology has been the formulation of the neuron doctrine by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, which stated that the nervous system is composed of discrete cells.

Sequential actions of β-catenin and Bmp pattern the oral nerve net in Nematostella vectensis. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2014 Animal evolution is closely linked to the emergence of the nervous system. At present it is unknown how the basic mechanisms of neural induction and formation of central nervous systems evolved.

U-Net Segmented Adjacent Angle Detection (USAAD) for Automatic Analysis of Corneal Nerve Structures [PDF]
Data, 2020 Measurement of corneal nerve tortuosity is associated with dry eye disease, diabetic retinopathy, and a range of other conditions. However, clinicians measure tortuosity on very different grading scales that are inherently subjective.

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1920 From biologic studies it must be inferred that the sole reason for life—vegetable, animal and human— is to continue the species, and that man's superior brain and body are for the purpose of better protecting the germ plasm as well as for social life, the pleasure of work and the joy of mental effort. We worship the mind and its products, and outwardly

DXM‐TransFuse U-net: Dual cross-modal transformer fusion U-net for automated nerve identification [PDF]
Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics, 2022 Accurate nerve identification is critical during surgical procedures for preventing any damages to nerve tissues. Nerve injuries can lead to long-term detrimental effects for patients as well as financial overburdens. In this study, we develop a deep-learning network framework using the U-Net architecture with a Transformer block based fusion module at
