Nervous systems of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis are generated by ectoderm and endoderm and shaped by distinct mechanisms

Abstract: SUMMARYAs a sister group to Bilateria, Cnidaria is important for understanding early nervous system evolution. Here we examine neural development in the anthozoan cnidarian Nematostella vectensis in order to better understand whether similar developmental mechanisms are utilized to establish the strikingly different overall organization of bilaterian and cnidarian nervous systems. We generated a neuron-specific transgenic NvElav1 reporter line of N. vectensis and used it in combination with immunohistochemistr… Show more

“…Molecular developmental evidence suggests that the nervous systems of most animals (Ctenophora excepted) arose from cellular and molecular building blocks present in a common ancestor [1][2][3][4][5]. In 600 Myr of bilaterian radiation, nervous systems have diversified in structure and function.…”

“…[88][89][90]; but in none of these cases has any large concentration of neurons (ganglia) been identified [82]. Cnidarians often possess both endodermal and ectodermal NSs [91]. As highlighted by Koizumi et al [82], it has been observed that nerve cells residing either in ectoderm or the endoderm express different types of peptides.…”
