Neurotransmitter identity is acquired in a lineage-restricted manner in the Drosophila CNS

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The vast majority of the adult fly ventral nerve cord is composed of 34 hemilineages, which are clusters of lineally related neurons. Neurons in these hemilineages use one of the three fast-acting neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, GABA, or glutamate) for

Mammalian Taste Bud Cells Utilize Extragemmal 5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan to Biosynthesize the Neurotransmitter Serotonin

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter that is found in mammalian taste buds and can regulate the output of intragemmal signaling networks onto afferent nerve fibers.

Na+/K+-pump and neurotransmitter membrane receptors

open access: yesInvertebrate Neuroscience, 2018
Na+/K+-pump is an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase located in the outer plasma membrane of cells. The Na+/K+-ATPase pumps 3 sodium ions out of cells while pumping 2 potassium ions into cells. Both cations move against their concentration gradients. This

The Avian Neurotransmitter

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1973
SummaryStimulation of the cardioaccelerator nerve (CA) in the isolated chicken heart causes the release of norepinephrine and little epinephrine and increases heart rate significantly, but after beta blockade heart rate was depressed indicating the release of cholinergic agent which could be blocked with atropine.

Glutamate as a neurotransmitter in the healthy brain

open access: yesJournal of neural transmission, 2014
Glutamate is the most abundant free amino acid in the brain and is at the crossroad between multiple metabolic pathways. Considering this, it was a surprise to discover that glutamate has excitatory effects on nerve cells, and that it can excite cells to
