Transcriptomic analysis of crustacean neuropeptide signaling during the moult cycle in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis is well studied in insects, but details of the crustacean ecdysis cassette are ...

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2017
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

NPF activates a specific NPF receptor and regulates food intake in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai

Scientific Reports, 2021
Neuropeptides function through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with high specificity, implying a significant degree of neuropeptide-GPCR coevolution. However, potential neuropeptide signaling systems in non-chordates are relatively elusive.

Allatostatin-A neurons inhibit feeding behavior in adult Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
How the brain translates changes in internal metabolic state or perceived food quality into alterations in feeding behavior remains poorly understood.

DINeR: Database for Insect Neuropeptide Research [PDF]

, 2017
Neuropeptides are responsible for regulating a variety of functions, including development, metabolism, water and ion homeostasis, and as neuromodulators in circuits of the central nervous system.

Evolution of neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors in nematodes

Heliyon
The Neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors belong to the Rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are involved in functions such as locomotion, feeding and reproduction.

A G protein-coupled receptor mediates neuropeptide-induced oocyte maturation in the jellyfish Clytia.

PLoS Biology, 2020
The reproductive hormones that trigger oocyte meiotic maturation and release from the ovary vary greatly between animal species. Identification of receptors for these maturation-inducing hormones (MIHs) and understanding how they initiate the largely ...

Reversal of age-related learning deficiency by the vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a novel invertebrate model of aging: the pond snail (Lymnaea Stagnalis) [PDF]

, 2014
With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory impairment only suspends, rather than irreversibly extinguishes, the intrinsic ...
