TLDR
Findings support the implicit assumption that the neurosecretory cells of the brain have properties of neural cells as well as secretory cells, and that the neural and secretory activities are functionally related.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Histochemistry of putative transmitter substances in the insect brain
TL;DR: The present review attempts to evaluate the available histochemical data bearing on the possible transmitter roles of various candidate compounds in these animals and to call attention to cases where this has happened.
Book ChapterDOI
Physiology of growth and development: endocrine aspects
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the influence that endocrine hormones have on the growth and development of insects and investigates the regulation and mechanism of synthesis and release of neurosecretion in insect cells.
Book ChapterDOI
Neurosecretion by Exocytosis
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the neurosecretion by exocytosis, a theory based on the selective staining of secretory substances within some neurons of the central nervous system that suggests that hormone and binding protein share a common precursor.

Potassium-induced release of the diuretic hormones of Rhodnius prolixus and Glossina austeni: Ca dependence, time course and localization of neurohaemal areas.
S. H. P. Maddrell,J. D. Gee +1 more
TL;DR: Tetrodotoxin did not reduce the potassium-induced release of the hormone, suggesting that K acts directly on the neurosecretory axon endings in the neurohaemal areas, which parallels that for Ca entry into squid giant axons during maintained potassium depolarization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological characteristics and reflex activation of DUM (octopaminergic) neurons of locust metathoracic ganglion.
Graham Hoyle,Dani Dagan +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the DUM neurons of the metathoracic ganglion of the locust Schistocerca gregaria and the grasshopper Romalea microptera will be found to have many functions serving a general role comparable to that achieved by the release of adrenaline in vertebrates.

The effect of internal and external potassium concentration on the membrane potential of frog muscle.
TL;DR: The present paper describes experiments in which the membrane potential of frog sartorius muscle was measured in solutions of different potassium content, and in solutions which were designed to alter the inside concentration of potassium keeping the outside concentration constant.

An Improved Aldehyde Fuchsin Staining Technique for Neurosecretory Products in Insects
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimentally induced release of neurosecretory materials from roach corpora cardiaca
E. S. Hodgson,S. Geldiay +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the release of neurosecretory substances from the corpora cardiaca of adult female roaches, particularly those stained dark blue with chrome hematoxylin and those stained pink by phloxine, are markedly depleted following administration of electric shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation of certain Histological Techniques for in situ Demonstration of the Neuro-endocrine system of insects and other animals
G. S. Dogra,B. K. Tandan +1 more
TL;DR: Three techniques for staining the secretory neurones in sections were applied directly to the whole brain and/or intact organs of the neuro-endocrine system of certain insects, and the wholebrain of various invertebrates and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The control of neurosecretion and diapause by physiological changes in the brain of the cecropia silkworm
TL;DR: The 26 neurosecretory cells in the brain of the Cecropia silkworm have been shown by Williams to undergo systematic changes in endocrine activity during metamorphosis, which results in electrical silence of the brain throughout the months of diapause.
