Organization of neuropeptidergic systems in Lymnaea. Lymnaea is a striking example of an invertebrate system where use of modern molecular biological approaches has led to a deep understanding of the role of neuropeptides in physiology and behaviour. Examples that illustrate the general principles of neuropeptide functions in the nervous system are available in this model organism.

Neuropeptides and peptide hormones play critical roles in regulation of ... Another peptidergic system has been implicated in feeding in Drosophila: ...

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.They are a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a chemical synapse from one neuron (nerve cell) to another 'target' neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles in synapses into the synaptic cleft, where they are received by neurotransmitter receptors on

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit message across a synapse, gap in between two neurons. Our central nervous system contains roughly around 100 billion neurons with innumerable interconnection through branches! Our CNS works Numerous other intestinal peptides are involved in the regulation of meal size, although the pathways through which they exert their signaling action for the brain differ from those of CCK. These include peptides belonging to the bombesin family (gastrin-releasing peptide and neuromedin B), glucagon, somatostatin, amylin, enterostatin, and, in particular, PYY and ghrelin [ 55 , 56 ].
