Electrophysiology of Two Parallel Conducting Systems in the Colonial Hexacorallia

Extracellular polythene suction electrodes have been used to record electrical activity in four species of Madreporaria - Dendrogyra cylindrus, Meandrina meandrites, Mussa angulosa and Eusmilia fastigiata. A colonial conduction system, believed to be the nerve net, was found in all species. It condu...
