Central release of nitric oxide mediates antinociception induced by aerobic exercise [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014 Nitric oxide (NO) is a soluble gas that participates in important functions of the central nervous system, such as cognitive function, maintenance of synaptic plasticity for the control of sleep, appetite, body temperature, neurosecretion, and ...

Advances in Understanding of Structural Reorganization in the Hypothalamic Neurosecretory System
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017 The hypothalamic neurosecretory system synthesizes neuropeptides in hypothalamic nuclei and releases them from axonal terminals into the circulation in the neurohypophysis (NH) and median eminence (ME). This system plays a crucial role in regulating body

Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 33, November 24, 2023., 2023 An “electromagnetic messenger” approach utilizing high‐frequency magnetic fields (HFMF) to trigger nitric oxide (NO) release and electrical stimulation is developed for restoring brain function in traumatic brain injury. Upon exposure to HFMF, in vivo experiments demonstrated the combined strategy's effectiveness in inhibiting inflammation ...

A TRPV channel modulates C. elegans neurosecretion, larval starvation survival, and adult lifespan. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 For most organisms, food is only intermittently available; therefore, molecular mechanisms that couple sensation of nutrient availability to growth and development are critical for survival. These mechanisms, however, remain poorly defined.

Using microarrays to facilitate positional cloning: identification of tomosyn as an inhibitor of neurosecretion. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2005 Forward genetic screens have been used as a powerful strategy to dissect complex biological pathways in many model systems. A significant limitation of this approach has been the time-consuming and costly process of positional cloning and molecular ...

Synaptic and peptidergic connectome of a neurosecretory center in the annelid brain
eLife, 2017 Neurosecretory centers in animal brains use peptidergic signaling to influence physiology and behavior. Understanding neurosecretory center function requires mapping cell types, synapses, and peptidergic networks.

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate optical uncaging potentiates exocytosis
eLife, 2017 Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is essential for exocytosis. Classical ways of manipulating PI(4,5)P2 levels are slower than its metabolism, making it difficult to distinguish effects of PI(4,5)P2 from those of its metabolites.

Decoding a neural circuit controlling global animal state in C. elegans
eLife, 2015 Brains organize behavior and physiology to optimize the response to threats or opportunities. We dissect how 21% O2, an indicator of surface exposure, reprograms C.

miR-153 regulates SNAP-25, synaptic transmission, and neuronal development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 SNAP-25 is a core component of the trimeric SNARE complex mediating vesicle exocytosis during membrane addition for neuronal growth, neuropeptide/growth factor secretion, and neurotransmitter release during synaptic transmission.
