The brain's biological clock, which, in mammals, is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus
(SCN), generates circadian rhythms in behaviour and physiology. These biological rhythms …

The release of transmitters at sympathoeffector junctions is not constant, but subject to
modulation by a plethora of different mechanisms. In this respect, presynaptic receptors …

In the present study the localization of pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating peptide
(PACAP)‐expressing cell bodies and PACAP projections were mapped in the adult rat brain …

Understanding how ethanol influences behavior is key to deciphering the mechanisms of
ethanol action and alcoholism. In mammals, low doses of ethanol stimulate locomotion …

In recent years, there have been a number of efforts to identify genes that are expressed in
mature ovarian follicles in response to an ovulatory dose of LH or its homologue hCG. This …

Oxidative stress, resulting from accumulation of reactive oxygen species, plays a critical role
in neuronal cell death associated with neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. In the …

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a neuropeptide that is produced by lymphoid as well as
neural cells, exerts a wide spectrum of immunological functions, controlling the homeostasis …

VIP and PACAP are two prominent neuropeptides that share two common G protein-coupled
receptors, VPAC1 and VPAC2, while PACAP has an additional specific receptor, PAC1. This …

Pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) is widely expressed in the embryonic
brain at the onset of neurogenesis, and is strongly upregulated in several models of nerve …
