A new look at the architecture and dynamics of the Hydra nerve net [PDF]
eLife, 2023 The Hydra nervous system is the paradigm of a ‘simple nerve net’. Nerve cells in Hydra, as in many cnidarian polyps, are organized in a nerve net extending throughout the body column.

Dense and distributed neuropeptide network in the nerve net of Hydra vulgaris [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyNeuroscience has long emphasized synaptic transmission and physical wiring as the substrate of brain function and behavior. However, an additional layer of connectivity - a "chemical connectome" formed by neuropeptide-GPCR signaling - has been ...

U-Net Segmented Adjacent Angle Detection (USAAD) for Automatic Analysis of Corneal Nerve Structures
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.

The Nerve Net of the Actinozoa [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1935 ABSTRACTStimulation of the column of the anemone Calliatis parasitica elicits a graded series of responses. Each response is primarily due to the action of a single set of muscles. The means by which this effect is produced is physiologically simple.
