Incorporating evolution into neuroscience teaching
Frontiers in Education, 2023 Neuroscience courses can be enriched by including an evolutionary perspective. To that end, this essay identifies several concepts critical to understanding nervous system evolution and offers numerous examples that can be used to illustrate those ...

The evolution of nervous system centralization [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 It is yet unknown when and in what form the central nervous system in Bilateria first came into place and how it further evolved in the different bilaterian phyla. To find out, a series of recent molecular studies have compared neurodevelopment in slow-evolving deuterostome and protostome invertebrates, such as the enteropneust ...

Nitric oxide signaling in ctenophores
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most ancient and versatile signal molecules across all domains of life. NO signaling might also play an essential role in the origin of animal organization.

Cells, 2021 Glycine is an important neurotransmitter in vertebrates, performing both excitatory and inhibitory actions. Synaptic levels of glycine are tightly controlled by the action of two glycine transporters, GlyT1 and GlyT2, located on the surface of glial ...

Alternative neural systems: What is a neuron? (Ctenophores, sponges and placozoans)
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 How to make a neuron, a synapse, and a neural circuit? Is there only one ‘design’ for a neural architecture with a universally shared genomic blueprint across species?

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015 Internal coordination models hold that early nervous systems evolved in the first place to coordinate internal activity at a multicellular level, most notably the use of multicellular contractility as an effector for motility.
