Neuropeptidergic regulation of neuromuscular signaling in larval zebrafish alters swimming behavior and synaptic transmission

iScience
Summary: Chemical synaptic transmission is modulated to accommodate different activity levels, thus enabling homeostatic scaling in pre- and postsynaptic compartments.

The pharyngeal taste organ of a blood-feeding insect functions in food recognition

BMC Biology
Background Obligate blood-feeding insects obtain the nutrients and water necessary to ensure survival from the vertebrate blood. The internal taste sensilla, situated in the pharynx, evaluate the suitability of the ingested food.

Development of neuropeptide Y-ergic innervation of the small intestine in rats

Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2018
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) acts as a neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system, including in the metasympathetic intramural ganglia of the intestine.

Complementarity of radioautographic and immunohistochemical techniques for localizing neuroreceptors at the light and electron microscopy level

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
To assess relationships between neuropeptide-binding sites and receptor proteins in rat brain, the distribution of radioautographically labeled somatostatin and neurotensin-binding sites was compared to that of immunolabeled sst2A and NTRH receptor ...

Molecular mechanism of prolactin-releasing peptide recognition and signaling via its G protein-coupled receptor

Cell Discovery
Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) is an RF-amide neuropeptide that binds and activates its cognate G protein-coupled receptor, prolactin-releasing peptide receptor (PrRPR), also known as GPR10.
