In the mammalian cerebral cortex neurons are arranged in specific layers and form
connections both within the cortex and with other brain regions, thus forming a complex …

Neurons in the mammalian brain are not limited to releasing a single neurotransmitter but
often release multiple neurotransmitters onto postsynaptic cells. Here, we review recent …

Recent data indicate that'classical'neurotransmitters can also act as co-transmitters. This
notion has been strengthened by the demonstration that three vesicular glutamate …

This review considers how recent advances in the physiology of ion channels and other
potential molecular targets, in conjunction with new information on the genetics of idiopathic …

Glutamatergic, pyramidal-projection neurons are produced in the embryonic cerebral cortex
by a series of genetically programmed fate choices, implemented in large part by …

The expression of unconventional vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT3 by neurons
known to release a different classical transmitter has suggested novel roles for signaling by …

Changes in the response to release of a single synaptic vesicle have generally been
attributed to postsynaptic modification of receptor sensitivity, but considerable evidence now …

Astrocytes regulate the formation and function of neuronal synapses via multiple signals;
however, what controls regional and temporal expression of these signals during …

After a brief history of ergot alkaloids and ergotism, this review focuses on the metabolism
and mechanisms of action of the ergot alkaloids. The authors provide models of how these …

During the last two decades attention has been focussed on the role of different
neuropeptides in hypothalamic control of feeding behavior. Several hypothalamic peptides …
