A four-headed planarian was produced by isolating wound cells from gap junction-mediated communication with remaining tissues.  Green signal is anti-synapsin staining that reveals brain and nerve cords andanti-arrestin staining that reveals the eye spots. Yellow signal indicates phosphorylated histone 3-positive mitotic cells (neoblasts). Red tissue is pseudocolored bright-field DIC image of the whole worm body.

Journal Description

CIB is an Open Access &
Online only journal

Communicative & Integrative Biology serves as a platform for the synthesis of the biological sciences. The main focus centers around organismal communication, however, Communicative & Integrative Biology deals with communication at all levels of biological organization from subcellular organelles to societies, ecosystems and the biosphere as a whole. In particular, "Sensory Ecology" represents a new rapidly emerging field which combines animal and plant communication and signaling (biosemiotics) with cognition, evolution, ecology and behavioral ecology, as well as biophysics and neuroethology.
