The neuropeptides galanin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are strongly up-regulated in motoneurons following axotomy. Earlier reports have suggested that peptides might be released from injured neurons to recruit surrounding glia. In this study, the effects of galanin and CGRP on cultured

## Abstract Although the tuberomammillary nucleus (TM) is well defined in terms of anatomy and neurochemistry, little is known about its function in nociceptive modulation. There was an abundance of galanin‐immunoreactive fibers in the TM, and galanin has been implicated in pain processing. The pre
We recently isolated an oviposition-inducing peptide that was identified as avian galanin from the oviducts of the Japanese quail. Avian galanin was localized in neural fibers distributed in muscle layers in the uterine and vaginal oviduct regions, and potentiated spontaneous contractions of the ute
## Abstract Galanin activates three receptors, the galanin receptor 1 (GalR1), GalR2, and GalR3. In the gastrointestinal tract, GalR1 mediates the galanin inhibition of cholinergic transmission to the longitudinal muscle and reduction of peristalsis efficiency in the small intestine. Galanin has al
