Galanin was first identified 30 years ago as a" classic neuropeptide," with actions primarily
as a modulator of neurotransmission in the brain and peripheral nervous system. Other …

Studies over the last decade have shown that the basal forebrain (BF) consists of more than
its cholinergic neurons. The BF also contains non-cholinergic neurons, including γ …

Neuropeptides are small protein molecules (composed of 3–100 amino-acid residues) that
have been localized to discrete cell populations of central and peripheral neurons. In most …

Recent molecular cloning studies have established the existence of a third rat galanin
receptor subtype, GalR3, however its precise distribution in the mammalian central nervous …

The term neuropeptides commonly refers to a relatively large number of biologically active
molecules that have been localized to discrete cell populations of central and peripheral …

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep or paradoxical sleep is an elusive behavioral state. Since
its discovery in the 1950s, our knowledge of the neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters and …

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCNs) are involved in cognitive functions such as
learning and memory, and are affected in several neurodegenerative diseases (eg …

The neuropeptide galanin colocalizes with choline acetyltransferase, the synthetic enzyme
for acetylcholine, in a subset of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain of rodents …

Using riboprobe in situ hybridization, we studied the localization of the transcripts for the
neuropeptide galanin and its receptors (GalR1–R3), tryptophan hydroxylase 2, tyrosine …

CD44 is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion during neurite outgrowth,
leukocyte homing, and tumor metastasis. In the current study, we examined the regulation of …
