Animal experiments have already shown that neurotransmitters and neuropeptides are not only important for normal functioning of the adult central nervous system (CNS) but are also crucial to its development. However, information on the spatio-temporal distribution of these endogenous substances in t

## Abstract In birds, as in mammals, corticotropinβreleasing factor (CRF) is present in a number of extrahypothalamic brain regions, indicating that CRF may play a role in physiological and behavioral responses other than the control of adrenocorticotropin hormone release by the pituitary. To provi
We examined three-dimensionally the arrangement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-like immunoreactive neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) of the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, by a combination of immunohistochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscopy on whole-mount preparations. GABA-li
An antiserum against the crustacean pigment-dispersing hormone (PDH) was used to identify PDH-immunoreactive neurons in the developing nervous systems of wild type Drosophila melanogaster and the brain mutant disconnected. Particular attention was paid to a group of PDH-immunoreactive neurons at the
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
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
