Neurotransmitters are crucial for the relay of signals between neurons and their target.
Monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), and histamine are found in …

In an ever‐changing environment, animals have to continuously adapt their behaviour. The
ability to learn from experience is crucial for animals to increase their chances of survival. It …

Dopaminergic neurons projecting from the Substantia Nigra to the Striatum play a critical
role in motor functions while dopaminergic neurons originating in the Ventral Tegmental …

Memory formation and sleep regulation are critical for brain functions in animals from
invertebrates to humans. Neuropeptides play a pivotal role in regulating physiological …

Inhibitory control is a key executive function that limits unnecessary thoughts and actions,
enabling an organism to appropriately execute goal-driven behaviors. The efficiency of this …

Octopamine, the functional analog of noradrenaline, modulates many different behaviors
and physiological processes in invertebrates. In the central nervous system, a few …

To visualize the cellular and subcellular localization of neuromodulatory G-protein–coupled
receptors in Drosophila, we implement a molecular strategy recently used to add epitope …

As an important biogenic amine in invertebrates and corresponding to the neurotransmitter
norepinephrine in vertebrates, octopamine (OA) regulates diverse physiological and …

Abstract Serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine are critical neuromodulators known to regulate a
range of behaviors in invertebrates and mammals, such as learning and memory. Effects of …

Aminergic neurons mediate reward signals in mammals and insects. In crickets, we showed
that blockade of synaptic transmission from octopamine neurons (OANs) impairs …
