Ctenophore research points to earlier origins of brain-like structures
https://phys.org/news/2026-03-ctenophore-earlier-brain.html Paper by Anna Ferraioli et al.: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1817-6891: https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aea8399"The #animals possess a sensory structure called the aboral organ (AO), which allows them to sense gravity, pressure, and light... AO is definitely not like our #brain, but it could be defined as the organ that #ctenophores use as a brain... #evolution seems to have invented centralized nervous systems more than once"

Bloody-belly comb jellies, Lampocteis cruentiventer, are #ctenophores, not true jellies. Like other comb jellies, they navigate through the water by beating their shimmering, hair-like cilia. These crimson beauties are found in the twilight zone, using their blood-red stomachs to hide a belly full of glowing (bioluminescent) prey. At these depths, red is nearly invisible, turning their vibrant color into the perfect camouflage.

Our brief report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now in PNAS: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. @MSarsCentre @UiB #rejuvenation

#Jellyfish under attack https://phys.org/news/2024-09-jellyfish-uncovers-parasitic-spillover-burrowing.html
From #ctenophores to #scyphozoans: parasitic spillover of a burrowing sea anemone https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-72168-7
"Some #SeaAnemones have developed a unique way to overcome the challenges of ocean dispersal. These anemones parasitize jelly-like marine #animals called #CombJellies to spread more easily through the #ocean... This study has uncovered the first documented cases of parasitic anemone planulae in true jellyfish"
