All nervous systems are subject to neuromodulation. Neuromodulators can be delivered as
local hormones, as cotransmitters in projection neurons, and through the general circulation …

Colocalization of small-molecule and neuropeptide transmitters is common throughout the
nervous system of all animals. The resulting co-transmission, which provides conjoint …

I summarize recent computational and experimental work that addresses the inherent
variability in the synaptic and intrinsic conductances in normal healthy brains and shows that …

Crustaceans have long been used for peptide research. For example, the process of
neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated in the crustacean X-organ–sinus gland …

We report 43 novel genes in the water flea Daphnia pulex encoding 73 predicted
neuropeptide and protein hormones as partly confirmed by RT-PCR. MALDI-TOF mass …

Neuropeptides are a diverse class of signalling molecules that are widely employed as
neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in animals, both invertebrate and vertebrate …

Peptides are the largest and most diverse class of molecules used for neurochemical
communication, playing key roles in the control of essentially all aspects of physiology and …

Although the sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone (JH) and the steroidal ecdysteroids are of
vital importance to the development and reproduction of insects, our understanding of the …

Neuropeptides provide functional flexibility to microcircuits, their inputs and effectors by
modulating presynaptic and postsynaptic properties and intrinsic currents. Recent studies …

The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is arguably the most important aquacultured crustacean,
being the subject of a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. To extend our knowledge of …
