Artificial diet alters activity and rest patterns in the olive fruit fly.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Olive fruit flies, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) reared in the laboratory on an artificial diet are essential for the genetic control techniques against this pest. However, the colony's laboratory adaptation can affect the quality of the reared

Aging reveals a role for nigral tyrosine hydroxylase ser31 phosphorylation in locomotor activity generation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) regulates dopamine (DA) bioavailability. Its product, L-DOPA, is an established treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), suggesting that TH regulation influences locomotion. Site-specific phosphorylation of TH at ser31

Terguride stimulates locomotor activity at 2 months but not 10 months after 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine treatment of common marmosets [PDF]
, 1992 The mixed dopamine (DA) agonist/antagonist terguride acts as a DA antagonist on normosensitive receptors but shows DA agonistic properties at supersensitive DA receptors.

Irisin: A myokine with locomotor activity [PDF]
Neuroscience Letters, 2015 The mechanisms underlying alterations in brain functions in response to physical exercise are not fully understood. The present study examined the central effect of irisin, a 112 amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted from the skeletal muscle after exercise, on the locomotion in rats.

Flexibility in the Patterning and Control of Axial Locomotor Networks in Lamprey [PDF]
, 2011 In lower vertebrates, locomotor burst generators for axial muscles generally produce unitary bursts that alternate between the two sides of the body. In lamprey, a lower vertebrate, locomotor activity in the axial ventral roots of the isolated spinal ...
