The discovery of neuropeptides as signaling molecules with paracrine or hormonal
regulatory functions has led to trailblazing advances in physiology and fostered the …

Highly interconnected neural networks perform olfactory signal processing in the central
nervous system. In insects, the first synaptic processing of the olfactory input from the …

Many biological systems contain an ensemble of cells with heterogeneous chemistry;
therefore, it is important to analyze them on an individual basis in order to elucidate the role …

As a model hemimetabolous insect species and an invasive urban pest that is globally
distributed, the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, is of great interest in both basic …

Neuropeptides are signaling molecules that regulate almost all physiological processes in
animals. Around 50 different genes for neuropeptides have been described in insects. In …

Formalin-fixed neuroendocrine tissues from American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana)
embedded in paraffin more than 30 years ago were recently analyzed by matrix-assisted …

Neuropeptides are important mediators in the functionality of the brain and other
neurological organs. Because neuropeptides exist in a wide range of concentrations …

Neuropeptides have gained broad attraction in insect neuroscience and physiology, as new
genetic tools are increasingly uncovering their wide-ranging pleiotropic functions with high …

We compiled a comprehensive list of 67 precursor genes encoding neuropeptides and
neuropeptide-like peptides using the Schistocerca gregaria genome and several …

For many insects, including mosquitoes, olfaction is the dominant modality regulating their
behavioral repertoire. Many neurochemicals modulate olfactory information in the central …
