Neural Crest Development: Do developing enteric neurons need endothelins?
Recent experiments have led to the unexpected finding that endothelin-3 and the endothelin B receptor are absolutely necessary for the development of the enteric nervous system in the colon, but it is not yet clear why.
متن کاملOrexin (hypocretin) neurons contain dynorphin.
Orexins (also called hypocretins) are peptide neurotransmitters expressed in neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA). Mice lacking the orexin peptides develop narcolepsy-like symptoms, whereas mice with a selective loss of the orexin neurons develop hypophagia and severe obesity in addition to the narcolepsy phenotype. These different phenotypes suggest that orexin neurons may contain ne...
متن کاملSexual Behaviour: Do a Few Dead Neurons Make the Difference?
Why do males and females behave so differently? Sexually dimorphic neural circuitry has just been found in parts of the fly's brain thought to control mating behaviour. Might this explain why males and females have such distinct sexual behaviours?
متن کاملGlutamatergic enteric neurons.
We tested the hypothesis that glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the CNS, is also an excitatory neurotransmitter in the enteric nervous system (ENS). Glutamate immunoreactivity was found in cholinergic enteric neurons, many of which were identified as sensory by their co-storage of substance P and/or calbindin. Glutamate immunoreactivity was concentrated in terminal varicositie...
متن کاملDo people make environments or do environments make people?
This article discusses the influence of people's genetic make-up on their mental states of happiness and depression. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, great fortune does not guarantee happiness; neither does great misfortune assure depression. Emotional states are surprisingly immune to "objective" social circumstances. A biological basis for this relative immunity is that people possess bio...
