Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptides in the nervous system of Drosophila and other insects: multiple roles as neuromodulators and neurohormones.
TL;DR: Drosophila, in spite of its small size, is now emerging as a very favorable organism for the studies of neuropeptide function due to the arsenal of molecular genetics methods available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila neuropeptides in regulation of physiology and behavior
Dick R. Nässel,Åsa M. E. Winther +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the physiological and behavioral roles of peptide signaling in Drosophila include regulation of development, growth, feeding, metabolism, reproduction, homeostasis, and longevity, as well as neuromodulation in learning and memory, olfaction and locomotor control.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Presynaptic Gain Control Mechanism Fine-Tunes Olfactory Behavior
Cory M. Root,Kaoru Masuyama,David S. Green,Lina E. Enell,Dick R. Nässel,Chi-Hon Lee,Jing W. Wang +6 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that different olfactory receptor channels employ heterogeneous presynaptic gain control as a mechanism to allow an animal's innate behavioral responses to match its ecological needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative review of short and long neuropeptide F signaling in invertebrates: Any similarities to vertebrate neuropeptide Y signaling?
Dick R. Nässel,Christian Wegener +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of sequences of the peptides and prepropeptides strongly suggest that NPFs and sNPFs are not closely related, however, the NPFs are likely to be ancestrally related to the vertebrate family of neuropeptide Y (NPY) peptides.
