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 …

The common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is a well studied and highly tractable genetic
model organism for understanding molecular mechanisms of human diseases. Many basic …

Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Ticks transmit more pathogens to humans and animals than any other arthropod. We
describe the 2.1 Gbp nuclear genome of the tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), which vectors …

We define the chemoconnectome (CCT) as the entire set of neurotransmitters,
neuromodulators, neuropeptides, and their receptors underlying chemotransmission in an …

To understand the brain, molecular details need to be overlaid onto neural wiring diagrams
so that synaptic mode, neuromodulation and critical signaling operations can be considered …

Colocalization of small-molecule and neuropeptide transmitters is common throughout the
nervous system of all animals. The resulting co-transmission, which provides conjoint …

Humans consume a wide range of foods, drugs, and dietary supplements that are derived
from plants and which modify the functioning of the central nervous sytem (CNS). The …

human livelihood and development and thus plays a predominant role in the well being of …

The honeybee Apis mellifera has major ecological and economic importance. We analyze
patterns of genetic variation at 8.3 million SNPs, identified by sequencing 140 honeybee …
