Urocortin was recently cloned from the rat midbrain. Urocortin is a member of the corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) peptide family and shows 45% sequence identity to CRF and 63% sequence identity to urotensin. It binds with a high affinity to CRF 1 and CRF 2 receptors, resulting in the stimulatio

## Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is present in the central nervous system of Aplysia californica (Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia) where its role as a neurotransmitter is supported by pharmacological, biochemical, and anatomical investigations. In this study, the distribution of GABA-immunoreactive (
Interferon-gamma (IFN-y) has many important immunoregulatory functions. It has previously been presumed to be produced by activated lymphoid cells alone. The present study concerning the identification of IFN-y in neurons was initiated against the background that nerve function influences immunologi
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophic factor that influences the survival and function of several neuronal populations in the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems. The actions of GDNF are mediated by a multicomponent receptor complex composed of the tyrosine ki
The distribution of the myomodulin-like and buccalin-like immunoreactivities in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues associated with feeding was examined in the pteropod mollusc Clione limacina by using wholemount immunohistochemical techniques. Immunoreactive neurons and cell clusters
