Antidepressant-like effects induced by galanin 2/neuropeptide Y Y1 heterodimers in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus [PDF]
, 2017 Previously, we have described the Galanin (GAL) and Neuropeptide Y Y1 (NPYY1) interactions through GAL receptor 2 and NPYY1 receptor 1 (GALR2/NPYY1R) heterodimers in the Dentate Gyrus (DG) of the Hippocampus, using autoradiographic, in situ ...

The role of dorsal raphe nucleus neuropeptides in reward and aversion
Frontiers in Behavioral NeuroscienceThe dorsal raphe nucleus is a critical node for affective and motivated circuits in the brain. Though typically known as a serotonergic hub, the dorsal raphe nucleus is also highly enriched in a variety of neuropeptides.
