Recent molecular cloning studies have established the existence of a third rat galanin
receptor subtype, GalR3, however its precise distribution in the mammalian central nervous …

The neuropeptides, as well as their respective receptors, are widely distributed throughout
the mammalian central nervous system. During learning and memory processes, besides …

The neuropeptide galanin has been implicated in anxiety-related behaviors, cognition,
analgesia, and feeding in rodents. Neuromodulatory actions of galanin are mediated by …

Social transmission of food preference (STFP) is a test of olfactory memory that can be used
in mice. Confounds in STFP that can lead to misinterpretation of an STFP deficit as a …

Neuropeptides are short peptides in the range of 3–40 residues that are secreted for cell-cell
communication in neuroendocrine systems. In the nervous system, neuropeptides comprise …

Galanin is a neurohormone as well as a neurotransmitter and plays versatile physiological
roles for the neuroendocrine axis, such as regulating food intake, insulin level and …

We present a review of galanin in the brain from a historical perspective of the development
of “chemoarchitectonics” and “brain cartography” accomplished in the Histopharmacology …
