Vasopressin and oxytocin release within the brain: a dynamic concept of multiple and variable modes of neuropeptide communication

TL;DR: This concept considers neuropeptides in the extracellular fluid of the brain rather than those in the cerebrospinal fluid or plasma as primary signals, triggering a variety of receptor-mediated effects, including those underlying behavioral and neuroendocrine regulation and psychopathology.

Chemical ecology of predator–prey interactions in aquatic ecosystems: a review and prospectusThe present review is one in the special series of reviews on animal–plant interactions.

TL;DR: The nature and role of predator kairomones, chemical alarm cues, disturbance cues, and diet cues on the behaviour, morphology, life history, and survival of aquatic prey is reviewed, focusing primarily on the discoveries from the last decade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Descriptive sensory analysis: past, present and future

TL;DR: The process of implementing a descriptive sensory programme will be reviewed, with some discussion of new approaches and applications, and potential new applications of descriptive techniques are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of the vomeronasal system: an update

TL;DR: New anatomical studies of the central pathways of the olfactory and vomeronasal systems indicated that these two systems converge on neurons in the telencephalon, providing an anatomical substrate for functional interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual recognition in mice mediated by major urinary proteins

TL;DR: It is shown in wild house mice (Mus domesticus) that major urinary proteins play an important role in the individual recognition mechanism, and that the combinatorial diversity of expression of MUPs among wild mice might be as great as for MHC, and at protein concentrations a million times higher.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.

TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

Biometery: The principles and practice of statistics in biological research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the analysis of variance in a single-classification and two-way and multiway analysis of Variance with the assumption of correlation.
