Feminizing cholinergic neurons in a male Drosophila nervous system enhances aggression.

5 Jul 2009 Previous studies in Drosophila have demonstrated that whether flies fight like males or females can be switched by selectively manipulating genes of the sex determination hierarchy in male and female nervous systems. Here we extend these studies by ... Read more...

Galanin inhibits caerulein-stimulated pancreatic amylase secretion via cholinergic nerves and insulin.

2 Jun 2009 Pancreatic exocrine secretion is affected by galanin, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. We aimed to determine the effect and elucidate the mechanism of action of exogenous galanin on basal and stimulated pancreatic amylase secretion in vitro. ... Read more...

Cognitive functions in a patient with Parkinson-dementia syndrome undergoing deep brain stimulation.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Dementia represents one of the most challenging health problems. Despite intense research, available therapies have thus far only achieved modest results. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment option for some movement ... Read more...
