NeuromedinU is a potent regulator of food intake and activity in mammals. In Drosophila,
neurons producing the homologous neuropeptide hugin regulate feeding and locomotion in …

FMRFamides are evolutionarily conserved neuropeptides that play critical roles in behavior,
energy balance, and reproduction. Here, we show that FMRFamide signaling from the …

Chemical neurotransmission may include transmission to local or remote sites. Locally,
contact between 'bare'portions of the bulbous nerve terminal termed a varicosity and the …

Here, we present and discuss the characteristics and properties of neurotransmitter
segregation, a subtype of neurotransmitter cotransmission. We review early evidence of …

Co‐transmission is a common means of neuronal communication, but its consequences for
neuronal signaling within a defined neuronal circuit remain unknown in most systems. We …

Vesicular transporter proteins are an essential component of the presynaptic machinery that
regulates neurotransmitter storage and release. They also provide a key point of control for …

Autonomic neural control of the intrathoracic airways aids in optimizing air flow and gas
exchange. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, the autonomic nervous system …

Synaptic cotransmission is the ability of neurons to use more than one transmitter to convey
synaptic signals. Cotransmission was originally described as the presence of a classic …

Chemical coding of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPN) suggests that the chemical
content of subpopulations of SPN can define their function. Since neuropeptides, once …

Recent evidence has demonstrated that cotransmission from mammalian neurons is not
uniquely achieved by costorage and corelease of transmitters and cotransmitters from single …
