    Annotation The neodermata brain consists of paired ganglia (right and left lateral lobes), connected by the brain commissure; the paired anterior nerves and two posterior main nerve cords extend from lobes and commissure. Brain is composed of numerous serotoninergic, peptidergic and cholinergic immunoreactive neurons. The bilobed neuropil is a most compact integrative part of the neodermata brain. Except synaptic contacts, it has the fibrillar and glial envelopes in many species. The architecture and ultrastructure of the bilobed neuropil is different into neodermata. Monogeneans and trematodes have the bilateral symmetrical bilobed brain with the broad commissure positioned dorsally behind the pharynx. The amphilinidean brain consists of the right and left non-symmetrical ganglia connected by the median commissure located ventrally underneath the anterior pit. Cestodes' brain has complicated architecture. More prominent concentrations of neurons locate around the median commissure and two main neuropils. Scoleces with four sets of attachment organs have distinct double lateral lobes with two pairs of main neuropils. The central unpaired lobe with neuropil and neurons, and also the X (or+)-shaped commissures evidenced in some cestodes species. Anterior nerves and ganglia innervate the mouth, pharynx, lappets, musculo-glandular organs of monogenea and trematoda. In cestodes, the anterior ganglia innervate suckers, proboscises and glandular organs; and anterior nerves innervate the bothria. The sensory organs are presented by the unciliate, uni-ciliated and multiciliated aggregations of free nerve endings in the neodermis. The position of the sensory organs correlates with the morphology of attachment and copulatory apparatus.
