Learning is an essential biological process for survival since it facilitates behavioural
plasticity in response to environmental changes. This process is mediated by a wide variety …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neuropeptide abundantly expressed in the mammalian central
and peripheral nervous system. NPY is a pleiotropic molecule, which influences cell …

Neuropeptides and peptide hormones are ancient, widespread signaling molecules that
underpin almost all brain functions. They constitute a broad ligand-receptor network, mainly …

The nervous and immune systems are closely entwined to maintain the immune balance in
health and disease. Here, we showed that LPS can activate suprarenal and celiac ganglia …

Neuronal communication involves small-molecule transmitters, gap junctions, and
neuropeptides. While neurons often express multiple neuropeptides, our understanding of …

Neuropeptides are abundant signaling molecules that control neuronal activity and behavior
in all animals. Owing in part to its well-defined and compact nervous system, Caenorhabditis …

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role as membrane receptors, facilitating
the communication of eukaryotic species with their environment and regulating cellular and …

Nematode parasites undermine human health and global food security. The frontline
anthelmintic portfolio used to treat parasitic nematodes is threatened by the escalation of …

Aversive learning is fundamental for animals to increase chances of survival. In addition to
classical neurotransmitters, neuropeptides have emerged to modulate such complex …

In order to thrive in constantly changing environments, animals must adaptively respond to
threatening events. Noxious stimuli are not only processed according to their absolute …
