Investigation of the cerebrum of Dugesia gonocephala s.1. using modern techniques has shown that the neurons of these animals situated at the bottom of the phylogenetic scale are basically the same as those of Vertebrates from the ultrastructural and molecular standpoints (tetanus toxin binding). There is no evidence of any biochemical glio-neuronal relationship, nor do the so-called supporting cells appear similar to the glial cells of the higher Vertebrates from this point of view.

Abstract

Investigation of the cerebrum of Dugesia gonocephala s.1. using modern techniques has shown that the neurons of these animals situated at the bottom of the phylogenetic scale are basically the same as those of Vertebrates from the ultrastructural and molecular standpoints (tetanus toxin binding). There is no evidence of any biochemical glio-neuronal relationship, nor do the so-called supporting cells appear similar to the glial cells of the higher Vertebrates from this point of view.
