CRH and urotensin I (UI) are neuroendocrine peptides that belong to the superfamily of
corticotropin-releasing factors. In mammals, these peptides regulate the stress response and …

Urotensin II (UII) is a potent vasoconstrictor in mammals, but the source of circulating UII
remains unclear. Investigations of the caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS), considered the …

The caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS) is unique to fish and has suggested homeostatic
roles in osmoregulation and reproduction. Magnocellular neuroendocrine Dahlgren cells, …

Philanthotoxin-433 (PhTX-433), a natural polyamine wasp toxin, is a noncompetitive antagonist
of certain ionotropic receptors. Six analogues of PhTX-343 (a synthetic analogue of the …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) of the TE671 cell line were investigated using
whole-cell and membrane patch recording techniques. At negative holding potentials (V H ), …

In this chapter, we explore a Bayesian modelling framework for generating estimates of
place-to-place migration flows. The framework is designed to offer a flexible approach which is …

Brierley, Matthew J., Kevin Staras, and Paul R. Benjamin. Behavioral function of glutamatergic
interneurons in the feeding system of Lymnaea: plateauing properties and synaptic …

A cDNA encoding a 100-kDa subunit (XenNR1) of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate
receptor type has been cloned from Xenopus central nervous system. When XenNR1 is …

Whole-cell recordings and outside-out patch recordings from TE671 cells were made to
investigate antagonism of human muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) by the …

PhTX‐343 and PhTX‐12, analogues of the natural polyamine wasp toxin PhTX‐433, were
synthesised in 40–60% yields as pure enantiomers using solid phase synthesis techniques. …
