While CART peptides have been implicated as novel, putative peptide neurotransmitters/cotransmitters, behavioral effects of these peptides have not yet been demonstrated. In this study, we show the first behavioral effect of CART peptides. Icv administration of CART peptide fragments inhibits feedin

## Abstract Immunocytochemistry techniques were employed to investigate the distribution of neuropeptide Yโlikeโimmunoreactive (NPYโir) cells and fibers in the central and peripheral nervous systems of adult amphioxus. NPYโir neurons of the commissural type were abundant in the brain and present bu
The effects of lithium on brain regional concentrations of substance P (SP)-, neurokinin A (NKA)-, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-and neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivities (-LI) were studied in rat. In the pilot study, rats were divided into three groups that were administered vehicle
## Abstract Some central and peripheral neurons synthesize brainโderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and, after anterograde transport, release it at synapses. By immunocytochemistry, we examined, in rat and mouse, the subcellular localization of BDNF and BDNF/peptide coexistence, under normal condi
## Abstract Apomorphine is a dopamine receptor agonist increasingly used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we examined the plasma and ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pharmacokinetics of apomorphine as well as its effects on dopamine metabolism in six patients
