The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]
, 2015 The anterolateral tract (ALT), which originates from neurons in lamina I and the deep dorsal horn, represents a major ascending output through which nociceptive information is transmitted to brain areas involved in pain perception.

Mechanism of kisspeptin neuron synchronization for pulsatile hormone secretion in male mice
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The mechanism by which arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARNKISS) neurons co-expressing glutamate, neurokinin B, and dynorphin intermittently synchronize their activity to generate pulsatile hormone secretion remains unknown.

Tachykinin neuropeptides in cerebellar granule neurons: an immunocytochemical study
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 We previously demonstrated that exogenously administered neurokinin A and neurokinin B, but not substance P, increased the sensitivity of cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) to glutamate.

Possible causes and treatment strategies for the estrus and ovulation disorders in dairy cows
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022 The reproductive performance of dairy cows has declined, along with an increase in their milk yield. First-service conception rates in lactating dairy cows are often lower than 50%.

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
, 2017 The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

Neuropeptide modulation of lymphatic smooth muscle tone in the canine forelimb
Mediators of Inflammation, 1992 Neurokinin A and B are putative inflammatory mediators. We assessed their ability to alter prenodal lymphatic resistance. Intralymphatic neurokinin A (3.0 × 10−6, 3.0 × 10−5 and 3.0 × 10−4 mol l−1) significantly constricted lymphatics at the two highest ...
