Cnidarian Nerve Nets and Neuromuscular Efficiency [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2015 Cnidarians are considered "nerve net animals" even though their nervous systems include various forms of condensation and centralization. Yet, their broad, two-dimensional muscle sheets are innervated by diffuse nerve nets. Do the motor nerve nets represent a primitive organization of multicellular nervous systems, do they represent a consequence of ...
