We generated transgenic mice that carry 4.6 kb of the mouse galanin gene fused to 2.5 kb of
the rat PRL promoter. In all transgenic lines that carried and transmitted the transgene, there …

This review consolidates current knowledge on mammalian parental care, focusing on its
neural mechanisms, evolutionary origins, and derivatives. Neurobiological studies have …

We have undertaken a series of experiments using galanin null mutant mice to better define
the role of endogenous galanin in spinal excitability following inflammation and in response …

Galanin is a pleiotropic neuropeptide widely expressed in the nervous system. It plays a role
in many diverse physiological functions–including nociception, cognition and metabolism …

Expression of the neuropeptide galanin is known to be upregulated in the brain of patients
with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We and others have shown that galanin plays a …

Massive tissue remodelling occurs within the mammary gland during pregnancy, resulting in
the formation of lobuloalveoli that are capable of milk secretion. Endocrine signals …

Insulin receptor signaling regulates female reproductive function acting in the central
nervous system and ovary. Female mice that globally lack insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 2 …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin have both been implicated in the regulation of body
weight, yet mice bearing deletions of either of these molecules have unremarkable …

In order to further investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate oligodendrocyte (OC)
survival, we utilized microarrays to characterize changes in OC gene expression after …

Hypertrophy of fibers containing galanin (GAL), the inhibitory neurotransmitter of
acetylcholine, occur on remaining cholinergic nucleus basalis neurons in late stage …
