Presynaptic sensor and silencer of peptidergic transmission reveal neuropeptides as primary transmitters in pontine fear circuit
Neurons produce and release neuropeptides to communicate with one another. Despite
their importance in brain function, circuit-based mechanisms of peptidergic transmission are …

Long-term potentiation in mammalian autonomic ganglia: an inclusive proposal of a calcium-dependent, trans-synaptic process
Ganglionic synapses have the capability to express long-term potentiation (gLTP) after
application of a brief high-frequency stimulus. It has been suggested a possible role of gLTP …
