Resumo |
The Nemertodermatida are a small group of microscopic marine worms. Recent molecular studies have demonstrated that they are likely to be the earliest extant bilaterian animals. What was the nervous system (NS) of a bilaterian ancestor like? In order to answer that question, the NS of Nemertoderma westbladi was investigated by means of indirect immunofluorescence technique and confocal scanning laser microscopy. The antibodies to a flatworm neuropeptide GYIRFamide were used in combination with anti-serotonin antibodies and phalloidin-TRITC staining. The immunostaining revealed an entirely basiepidermal NS. A ring lying outside the body wall musculature at the level of the statocyst forms the only centralisation, the |
