The crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) is modulated by both locally released
neuroactive compounds and circulating hormones. This study presents mass spectrometric …

Studies of release under physiological conditions provide more direct data about the identity
of neuromodulatory signaling molecules than studies of tissue localization that cannot …

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) of neuropeptides in crustacean neuronal tissues was
performed on a MALDI-TOF/TOF instrument. Sample preparation protocols were developed …

The blue crab Callinectes sapidus has been used as an experimental model organism for
the study of regulation of cardiac activity and other physiological processes. Moreover, it is …

Neurosecretory systems are known to synthesize and secrete a diverse class of peptide
hormones which regulate many physiological processes. The crustacean sinus gland (SG) …

Mass spectrometric methods were applied to determine the peptidome of the brain and
thoracic ganglion of the Jonah crab (Cancer borealis). Fractions obtained by high …

The stomatogastric ganglion (STG) and the cardiac ganglion (CG) of decapod crustaceans
are modulated by neuroactive substances released locally and by circulating hormones …

In crustaceans, circulating hormones influence many physiological processes. Two
neuroendocrine organs, the sinus gland (SG) and the pericardial organ (PO), are the …

The crustacean sinus gland (SG) is a well-defined neuroendocrine site that produces
numerous hemolymph-borne agents including the most complex class of endocrine …

The crab Cancer borealis nervous system is an important model for understanding neural
circuit dynamics and modulation, but the identity of neuromodulatory substances and their …
