ABSTRACT
Pelagic ctenophores swim in the water with the help of eight rows of long fused cilia. Their entire behavioral repertoire is dependent to a large degree on coordinated cilia activity. Therefore, recording cilia beating is paramount to understanding and registering the behavioral responses and investigating its neural and hormonal control. Here, we present a simple protocol to monitor and quantify cilia activity in semi-intact ctenophore preparations (using Pleurobrachia and Bolinopsis as models), which includes a standard electrophysiological setup for intracellular recording.
