Neuropeptides in platyhelminths
The neuropeptide story began in 1928 with the description by Ernst Scharrer of gland-like nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the minnow,Phoxinus laevis.Because these nerve cells were overwhelmingly specialized for secretory activity, overshadowing other neuronal properties, Scharrer termed them ‘neurosecretory neurons’.

The acid sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels expressed throughout the nervous system. ASICs are activated during acidic pH fluctuations, and recent work suggests that they are involved in excitatory synaptic transmission. ASICs can also induce neuronal degeneration and death during pathological extracellular acidosis caused by

The Role of Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Regulation of Liver Functions in Health and Disease
The communication between brain and peripheral tissues is mediated by neuropeptides that coordinate the functions of each organ with the activities of the entire body in specific environmental conditions.

Neuropeptides comprise a diverse group of chemically distinct molecules, contained in and released from a range of sensory nerves. They are involved in the formation, transmission, modulation and perception of all types of pain (physiological, neuropathic and inflammatory). This fact is reflected on their wide distribution, from primary sensory neurons

Involvement of Neuropeptide Galanin Receptors 2 and 3 in Learning, Memory and Anxiety in Aging Mice
The neuropeptide galanin (GAL), which is expressed in limbic brain structures, has a strong impact on the regulation of mood and behavior. GAL exerts its effects via three G protein-coupled receptors (GAL1–3-R). Little is known about the effects of aging
