Regulation of Energy Balance in Birds by the Neuroendocrine Hypothalamus
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2005 The physiological regulation of energy homeostasis is critical to an animal’s long-term survival and is relevant to the poultry industry in relation to animal production and welfare. In mammals, rapid progress has been made over the past decade in

Epilepsy Currents, 2003 It is a central tenet of the epilepsy field that seizures result from the imbalance of excitation over inhibition ( 1 ). The bulk of excitation is mediated by the neurotransmitter glutamate, whereas inhibition results mainly from the actions of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Phylogenomic analysis reveals extensive phylogenetic mosaicism in the Human GPCR Superfamily [PDF]
, 2007 A novel high throughput phylogenomic analysis (HTP) was applied to the rhodopsin G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Instances of phylogenetic mosaicism between receptors were found to be frequent, often as instances of correlated mosaicism and ...
