The paper tests antiseizure medications on planarians to assess their ability to reduce seizure-like activity caused by neurotoxic compounds.

This study evaluates the use of planarians as a model for detecting seizurogenic chemicals, showing that several mammalian seizurogens induce seizure-like behavior in two planarian species.

This paper classifies neuroactive drugs using computational physicochemical properties and planarian behavioral profiling, finding both methods are accurate, with planarian testing adding value for multi-use drugs.

This paper describes an undergraduate biophysical lab module using Hydra mouth opening research to teach skills like microscopy, image analysis, and scientific writing.

This study shows that Wnt signaling determines body axis polarity in regenerating Hydra tissue, overriding the influence of myoneme orientation.
