Recently, the caudal neurosecretory system of the fish spinal cord has been found as a new one similar to the hypothalamic-hypophysial neurosecretory system in vertebrates and to the intercerbralis-cardiacum-allatum system in insects.

Caudal Neurosecretory System: A Physiologist's View [PDF]
Several active principles (urotensins) have been isolated from teleost caudal neurosecretory systems. The original classification of these substances has been recently modified: There are at least two mammalian hypotensive factors (with no effects yet ...

Enhancing the Study of Quantal Exocytotic Events: Combining Diamond Multi-Electrode Arrays with Amperometric PEak Analysis (APE) an Automated Analysis Code [PDF]
MicroGraphited-Diamond-Multi Electrode Arrays ({\mu}G-D-MEAs) can be successfully used to reveal, in real time, quantal exocytotic events occurring from many individual neurosecretory cells and/or from many neurons within a network. As {\mu}G-D-MEAs arrays are patterned with up to 16 sensing microelectrodes, each of them recording large amounts of data

CAPA neuropeptides and their receptor form an anti-diuretic hormone signalling system in the human disease vector, Aedes aegypti [PDF]
Insect CAPA neuropeptides are homologs of mammalian neuromedin U and are known to influence ion and water balance by regulating the activity of the Malpighian ‘renal’ tubules (MTs).

Release of vasopressin from isolated permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals is blocked by the light chain of botulinum A toxin [PDF]
The intracellular action on exocytosis of botulinim A toxin and constituent chains was studied using permeabilized isolated nerve endings from the rat neural lobe. The release of the neuropeptide vasopressin was measured by radioimmunoassay.

An FXPRLamide neuropeptide induces seasonal reproductive polyphenism underlying a life-history tradeoff in the tussock moth. [PDF]
The white spotted tussock moth, Orgyia thyellina, is a typical insect that exhibits seasonal polyphenisms in morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits, including a life-history tradeoff known as oogenesis-flight syndrome.

Characterization of a set of abdominal neuroendocrine cells that regulate stress physiology using colocalized diuretic peptides in Drosophila [PDF]
Multiple neuropeptides are known to regulate water and ion balance in Drosophila melanogaster. Several of these peptides also have other functions in physiology and behavior.

Prenatal programming of neuroendocrine reproductive function [PDF]
It is now well recognized that the gestational environment can have long-lasting effects not only on the life span and health span of an individual but also, through potential epigenetic changes, on future generations.
