Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. These
seizures are due to abnormal excessive and synchronous neuronal activity in the brain …

Neuropeptides play an important role in modulating seizures and epilepsy. Unlike
neurotransmitters which operate on a millisecond time-scale, neuropeptides have longer …

Nesfatin-1, a newly discovered NUCB2-derived satiety neuropeptide is expressed in several
neurons of forebrain, hindbrain, brainstem and spinal cord. This novel anorexigenic …

Nesfatin-1 and ghrelin are the two recently discovered peptide hormones involved in the
control of appetite. Besides its main appetite-control function, ghrelin also has …

Neuropeptides are signaling molecules participating in the modulation of synaptic
transmission. Neuropeptides are stored in dense core synaptic vesicles, the release of …

We describe the alterations of classical neurotransmitters and neuropeptides in generalized
epilepsy. A neuronal network in this disease is developed. Gamma aminobutyric acid …

Nesfatin-1 is a recently identified satiety molecule detectable in neurons of the
hypothalamus and nucleus of solitary tract (NTS). Immunohistochemical studies revealed …

We know neuropeptides now for over 40 years as chemical signals in the brain. The
discovery of neuropeptides is founded on groundbreaking research in physiology …

Neuropeptides appear to be of importance when the central nervous system (CNS) is
challenged, such as during high‐frequency firing and pathologic conditions. Potential …

Neuropeptides represent a new class of compounds with important implications for the
understanding of the mechanisms and treatment of epileptic disorders. Several systems of …
