Previous work from this laboratory indicates that the differentiation of mouse midbrain dopaminergic neurons is influenced by estrogen. These effects may be transmitted either through classical nuclear receptors or via "nongenomic" mechanisms, including the interaction with hypothetical membrane rec

Abstract
We investigate the role of neuronal coincidental signaling mediated by the second messengers, on phosphorylation of three major proteins of neurosecretory vesicles. Our data show that different combinations of coincidental signaling generate specific pattern of phosphoproteins and not strictly additional effects. This suggests that an added phosphate on a site might โmaskโ or โunmaskโ the next sites for specific kinases and phosphatases action by inducing conformation change or protein association. We show that a function of vesicles such as the uptake of glutamate is highly regulated by coincidental signaling. ยฉ 2002 WileyโLiss, Inc.

## Abstract The hypothalamic neuropeptide, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), is a primary regulatory factor in the neuroendocrine control of reproduction. The GnRH decapeptide is released in an episodic manner from hypothalamic GnRH neurons, which are known to express GnRH receptors. Here we e
Phosphorylation at certain proline-directed sites on the microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) is a characteristic feature of mitotic neuronal precursor cells and developing neurons and is particularly abundant within growing axons. This mode of MAP1B phosphorylation disappears from mature neuro
