In lower invertebrates like Hydra, the neural organisation is very simple and consists of:
1. A well-developed brain with ganglia and neural tissues
2. A network of neurons without any organised structure
3. A central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
4. Myelinated nerve fibers arranged in a hierarchical manner
