Study reveals how a neuropeptide called Big Dynorphin binds to the acid-sensing ion channel receptor, causing pain signals to be sent around the body.
The neuropeptide NPY reduces seizures in human brain tissue.
Galanin expressing neurons are selectively active during rebound sleep. The expression of galanin increases after neuronal activity and sleep deprivation. The neuropeptide plays a critical role in sleep homeostasis.
Researchers have identified neuropeptide alterations that occur in Africanized honeybee brains when they become aggressive.
Researchers have identified new subtypes of neurons in the hypothalamus and determined the function of a dopamine neuron.
According to a new study, researchers have identified the neural circuit in the brain of fruit flies which is responsible for detecting a taste pheromone.
New data links the amounts of certain neuropeptides in the brains of killer bees with their behavior both inside and outside the hive.
A new study reveals a complexity to neurons which could affect future therapies aimed at altering memory and mood in humans.
