Tachykinin (TK) peptides act on retinal neurons through neurokinin (NK) receptors. We examined the expression of neurokinin-1 (NK1; the substance P receptor), NK3 [the neurokinin B (NKB) receptor], and TK peptides in developing rat retinas. NK1 immunolabeling was found in newborn retinas in rare ama

## Abstract Cytokines and neuropeptides are modulators of neuroimmunoregulation in the central nervous system (CNS). The interaction of these modulators may have important implications in CNS diseases. We investigated whether interleukinβ1Ξ² (ILβ1Ξ²) modulates the expression of neurokininβ1 receptor
Estrogen receptors are direct regulators of transcription that function by binding to specific DNA sequences in promoters of target genes. The two cloned forms of estrogen receptors, β£ and β€, are expressed in the central nervous system by different neuronal populations. Astrocytes in vitro are also
Dopamine, an important neuromodulator in the retina, controls the balance of rod cone photoreceptor activity and influences the activity of several interneurons. The postnatal development of dopaminergic neurons, visualized immunocytochemically, was compared to the development of dopamine D 1 recept
Extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) were described originally as critical regulators of cell growth and differentiation. ERKs have received increasing attention as important regulators of neuronal function, especially in synaptic plasticity and memory. We found a group of phospho-ERK1/2 (p
