Annals of General Psychiatry, 2010 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

The neurobiology of ticklishness
Neuroscience ResearchTicklishness is an idiosyncratic form of touch observed in multiple animal species, including humans. Although commonly regarded as trivial, it involves complex neurobiological mechanisms and diverse behavioral phenomena observed across species.

Neuroendocrine regulations in tissue-specific immunity: From mechanism to applications in tumor
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Immune responses in nonlymphoid tissues play a vital role in the maintenance of homeostasis. Lots of evidence supports that tissue-specific immune cells provide defense against tumor through the localization in different tissue throughout the body, and ...

Imaging neuropeptide release at synapses with a genetically engineered reporter
eLife, 2019 Research on neuropeptide function has advanced rapidly, yet there is still no spatio-temporally resolved method to measure the release of neuropeptides in vivo.

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Neuropeptides at the crossroad of fear and hunger: a special focus on neuropeptide Y
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019 Survival in a natural environment forces an individual into constantly adapting purposive behavior. Specified interoceptive neurons monitor metabolic and physiological balance and activate dedicated brain circuits to satisfy essential needs, such as ...
