The discovery that injured comb jellies can fuse raises significant questions regarding their nervous systems. It suggests their nervous systems might connect upon fusion.
This fusion occurs quickly, within a few hours in laboratory conditions, indicating that the comb jellies possess remarkable regenerative capabilities.
Researchers demonstrated consistent fusion by pinning pairs of sea walnuts together after injury, revealing exciting insights into their biology and capabilities.
The findings may provide essential knowledge about the nervous system of ctenophores, which are key to understanding the evolution of all animals.
