The Journal of Poultry Science, 2002 Octopamine, an important neurotransmitter in invertebrates, has noted several similarities with noradrenaline (NA) in mammals. To compare the effect of octopamine and NA in the central nervous system, food intake and categorized postures of fasted chicks

A novel octopamine receptor with preferential expression in Drosophila mushroom bodies [PDF]
, 1998 Octopamine is a neuromodulator that mediates diverse physiological processes in invertebrates. In some insects, such as honeybees and fruit flies, octopamine has been shown to be a major stimulator of adenylyl cyclase and to function in associative ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018 Animals must make constant decisions whether to respond to external sensory stimuli or not to respond. The activation of positive and/or negative reinforcers might bias the behavioral response towards approach or aversion.

Characterization of a prawn OA/TA receptor in Xenopus oocytes suggests functional selectivity between octopamine and tyramine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Here we report the characterization of an octopamine/tyramine (OA/TA or TyrR1) receptor (OA/TAMac) cloned from the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, an animal used in the study of agonistic social behavior. The invertebrate OA/TA receptors are

BMC Neuroscience, 2005 Background Although octopamine has long been known to have major roles as both transmitter and modulator in arthropods, it has only recently been shown to be functionally important in molluscs, playing a role as a neurotransmitter in the feeding network ...

The Insect Type 1 Tyramine Receptors: From Structure to Behavior
Insects, 2021 Tyramine is a neuroactive compound that acts as neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, and neurohormone in insects. Three G protein-coupled receptors, TAR1-3, are responsible for mediating the intracellular pathway in the complex tyraminergic network.
