Abstract
Here George Mackie describes the nervous systems of coelenterates, compares and contrasts them with those of vertebrates, and asks, “Can the study of primitive animals tell us something about the evolution of neuronal function?”

This report emphasizes the analysis of the centrally programmed components of the feeding output by characterizing interactions among three classes of neurons in the buccal ganglia: protractor motoneurons, retractor motoneURons, and the neurons of an electrically coupled neural network which produces both the timing and driving of motoneuron activity.

The waveform of action potentials recorded concurrently with swimming events shows evidence of electrotonic coupling between central neurons in Polyorchis, which are also directly photosensitive and receive excitatory synaptic input from other conduction systems.

The prolonged action potentials were abolished in calcium-free external solution and following the injection of a calcium-EGTA buffer containing 5·25 × 10−7 M free calcium and the ionic mechanism may be similar to that ofaction potentials recorded from cardiac muscle.
