Neuropeptides modulate neural circuits controlling adaptive animal behaviors and
physiological processes, such as feeding/metabolism, reproductive behaviors, circadian …

Neuropeptides are the most diverse class of chemical modulators in nervous systems. They
contribute to extensive modulation of circuit activity and have profound influences on animal …

One of the reasons that most multicellular animals survive and thrive is because of the
adaptable and plastic nature of their nervous systems. For an organism to survive, it is …

Neuropeptides are a diverse class of neuronal signalling molecules that regulate
physiological processes and behaviour in animals. However, determining the relationships …

Plasticity in animal behaviour relies on the ability to integrate external and internal cues from
the changing environment and hence modulate activity in synaptic circuits of the brain. This …

Neuropeptides are evolutionarily ancient mediators of neuronal signalling that regulate a
wide range of physiological processes and behaviours in animals. Neuropeptide signalling …

This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

Neuromodulation provides considerable flexibility to the output of neural networks. In spite of
the extensive literature documenting the presence of modulatory peptide co-transmitters in …

Like most organisms, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans relies heavily on
neuropeptidergic signaling. This tiny animal represents a suitable model system to study …

Crustaceans have long been used for peptide research. For example, the process of
neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated in the crustacean X-organ–sinus gland …
