To identify mechanisms of behavioral evolution, we investigated the hindbrain circuit that
generates distinct vocal patterns in two closely related frog species. Male Xenopus laevis …

Neurotensin (NTS) and its receptors (NTSRs) have long been the subject of study and have
shown to have a vital function in a variety of systems. They are specifically implicated in the …

Magnocellular neurosecretory cells that release vasopressin (MNCVP) from axon terminals
in the neurohypophysis display a unique pattern of action potential firing termed phasic …

Key points Using 'sniffer'cell biosensors, we evaluated the effects of specific firing patterns
and frequencies on activity‐dependent somatodendritic release of vasopressin from …

Our understanding of neuropeptide function within neural networks would be improved by
methods allowing dynamic detection of peptide release in living tissue. We examined the …
