BACKGROUND: Serotonin represents an evolutionary ancient neurotransmitter that is
ubiquitously found among animals including the lophotrochozoan phylum Bryozoa, a
group of colonial filter-feeders. Comparatively little is known on their nervous
system, and data on their serotonin-lir nervous system currently are mostly
limited to the basal phylactolaemates. Previous investigations indicated a common
ground-pattern of the serotonin-lir nervous system in these animals, but in order
to assess this on a larger scale, 21 gymnolaemate species from 21 genera were
comparatively analysed herein. METHODS: Twenty-one species from 21 gymnolaemate
genera were analysed by immunocytochemical stainings and confocal laser scanning
microscopy. RESULTS: In all species the serotonin-lir signal is concentrated in
the cerebral ganglion from where a nerve tract emanates laterally and traverses
orally to engulf the foregut. Serotonin-lir perikarya are situated at the base of
the tentacles that almost always correspond to the number of tentacles minus two.
The oral side in almost all species shows three serotonin-lir perikarya followed
by a 'serotonergic gap' that to our knowledge is not reflected in the morphology
of the nervous system. Some species show additional serotonin-lir signal in
tentacle nerves, visceral innervation and pore complexes. Paludicella articulata
is exceptional as it shows signal in the latero-visceral nerves with
serotonin-lir perikarya in the esophagus, parts of the tentacle sheath nerves as
well as the frontal body wall around the parietal muscle bundles. CONCLUSIONS: In
general, the serotonin-lir nervous system in the Bryozoa shows a consistent
pattern among its different clades with few deviations. Preliminary data on
phylactolaemates suggest the presence of a 'serotonergic gap' similar to
gymnolaemates. Both show a subset of oral tentacles and the remaining tentacles
in gymnolaemates which correspond to the lateral tentacles of phylactolaemates.
The lophophoral concavity lacks serotonin-lir perikarya indicating that due to
their larger sizes and increased tentacle number, the horse-shoe shaped
arrangement could represent an apomorphy of phylactolaemates.
