Abstract
Behavioural coordination in sea anemones involves both excitation and inhibition. Examples include reciprocal inhibition between longitudinal and circular muscles (Batham and Pantin, 1954), inhibitory actions during peristalsis (Ewer, 1960; McFarlane, 1974a), joint excitatory and inhibitory innervation of sphincter muscle (Lawn, 1976) and inhibition of neural pacemakers (McFarlane, 1974b).Keywords
