Cocaine-Evoked Locomotor Activity Negatively Correlates With the Expression of Neuromedin U Receptor 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is characterized by repeated cycles of drug seeking and drug taking. Currently, there are no available pharmacotherapies to treat CUD, partially due to a lack of a mechanistic understanding of cocaine-evoked alterations in the ...

Renal neuroendocrine control of desiccation and cold tolerance by Drosophila suzukii [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Neuropeptides are central to the regulation of physiological, and behavioural processes in insects, directly impacting cold and desiccation survival.

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Deficiency Is Associated With Altered Gut Microbiota Communities in Male and Female C57BL/6 Mice

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is crucial for gastrointestinal tract (GIT) health. VIP sustains GIT homeostasis through maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier and acts as a potent anti-inflammatory mediator that contributes to gut ...

An FMRFamide Neuropeptide in Cuttlefish Sepia pharaonis: Identification, Characterization, and Potential Function

Molecules, 2020
Neuropeptides are released by neurons that are involved in a wide range of brain functions, such as food intake, metabolism, reproduction, and learning and memory.

Neuropeptides in platyhelminths

Parasitology, 1991
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’.

ASICs and neuropeptides [PDF]

Neuropharmacology, 2015
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

Genome Editing Reveals Idiosyncrasy of CNGA2 Ion Channel-Directed Antibody Immunoreactivity Toward Oxytocin

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018
Presynaptic cGMP-gated ion (CNG) channels positively or negatively modulate neurotransmitter secretion as well as the strength of synaptic transmission. Zebrafish cGMP-gated ion channel, CNGA2a (a.k.a.

The endogenous neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage–A potential psychoactive prognostic serum biomarker of pain-associated neuropsychological symptoms

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundThe pronociceptive neuromediator calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is associated with pain transmission and modulation. After spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (sSAH), the vasodilatory CGRP is excessively released into cerebrospinal ...
