Neocortex contains very few galanin neurons but receives a moderate galanin innervation
from various subcortical loci. Recent data suggest that galanin helps regulate the tonic …

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia among the elderly and is
characterized by progressive loss of memory and cognition. Epidemiological and clinical …

Based on early immunocytochemical findings, galanin (GAL) was postulated to function as
an inhibitory cotransmitter in rat cholinergic memory pathways. However, recent studies …

Previous studies have shown that the expression of the neuropeptide galanin in the
hippocampus is altered by seizures and that exogenous administration of galanin into the …

The cholinergic forebrain system is involved in learning and memory, and its age-dependent
decline correlates with a decrease in cognitive performance. Since the neuropeptide galanin …

Accumulating evidence indicates that disruption of galanin signaling is associated with
neuropsychiatric disease, but the precise functions of this neuropeptide remain largely …

Our present view that the mood disorders involve dysfunction of monoaminergic system is a
result of important clinical and preclinical observations over the past 40 years. The …

To study possible involvement of galanin in brain aging quality, we have investigated
behavioral, neurochemical and morphological parameters in aged mice overexpressing …

J. Neurochem.(2011) 117, 425–436. Abstract Understanding how neural activity is
functionally linked to the stem cell niche, is assuming ever increasing importance as …

The distribution and (patho-) physiological role of neuropeptides in the adult and aging brain
have been extensively studied. Galanin is an inhibitory neuropeptide that can coexist with γ …
