The cnidarian Hydra vulgaris is a small polyp with a nervous system of few hundred neurons
belonging to a dozen cell types, organized in two nerve nets without cephalization or …

Abstract The second annual Cnidarian Model Systems Meeting, aka “Cnidofest”, took place
in Davis, California from 7 to 10th of September, 2022. The meeting brought together …

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 …

Animals capable of whole-body regeneration can replace any missing cell type and
regenerate fully functional new organs, including new brains, de novo. The regeneration of a …

Hunger and satiety can have an influence on decision-making, sensory processing, and
motor behavior by altering the internal state of the brain. This process necessitates the …

Cell types evolve into a hierarchy with related types grouped into families. How cell type
diversification is constrained by the stable separation between families over vast …

Understanding how neural circuits are regenerated following injury is a fundamental
question in neuroscience. Hydra is a powerful model for studying this process because it …

Understanding how internal states like satiety are connected to animal behavior is a
fundamental question in neuroscience. Hydra vulgaris, a freshwater cnidarian with only …
