Histamine is the neurotransmitter of photoreceptors in insects and other arthropods. As a photoreceptor transmitter, histamine acts on ligand-gated chloride channels. Another type of histamine receptor has been indicated in the insect central nervous system by binding pharmacology. This receptor is
## Abstract New neurons are born and integrated into functional circuits in the brains of many adult organisms. In virtually all of these systems, serotonin is a potent regulator of neuronal proliferation. Specific neural pathways underlying these serotonergic influences have not, however, been ide
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in insects are neuron-specific oligomeric proteins essential for the central transmission of sensory information. Little is known about their subunit composition because it is difficult to express functional insect nAChRs in heterologous systems. As an alte
