The neuropeptide galanin has been implicated in inhibiting seizures and protecting
hippocampal neurons from excitotoxic injury. In the hippocampus galanin acts through two …

The neuropeptide galanin is expressed in sympathetic nerve terminals that surround islet
cells and inhibits insulin secretion. To explore its role for islet function, we studied mice with …

Damage to peripheral nerves following trauma or disease has a number of consequences
including the emergence of neuropathic pain. Commonly, neuropathic pain sufferers …

The neuropeptide galanin (Gal) and its receptors (GalR1, GalR2, and GalR3) are expressed
in spinal cord. We have characterized the pharmacology of the antinociceptive effects of …

We investigated the peripheral function of galanin (GAL) in capsaicin (CAP)-induced
inflammatory pain. Intraplantar GAL (0.1 ng/μl) alone does not produce nociceptive …

Since the neuropeptide galanin's discovery in 1983, information has accumulated that
implicates it in a wide range of functions, including pain sensation, stress responses …

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 …

The neuropeptide galanin may have a role in modulation of nociception, particularly after
peripheral nerve injury. Here we assessed the development of neuropathic pain-like …

The laboratory mouse is now considered the preferred mammalian species for molecular
and genetic analysis in neurobiology. In part, this is due to the existence, in the mouse, of …

Sensory processing in the spinal cord involves interactions among primary afferent fibers
bearing information from sensory receptors, interneurons, ascending tract cells conveying …
