This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

Neuropeptides are by far the largest and most diverse group of signaling molecules in
multicellular organisms. They are ancient molecules important in regulating a multitude of …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

We generated a library of~ 1000 Drosophila stocks in which we inserted a construct in the
intron of genes allowing expression of GAL4 under control of endogenous promoters while …

The circadian clock and its output pathways play a pivotal role in optimizing daily processes.
To obtain insights into how diverse rhythmic physiology and behaviors are orchestrated, we …

Hormones regulate development, as well as many vital processes in the daily life of an
animal. Many of these hormones are peptides that act at a higher hierarchical level in the …

Feeding decisions are fundamental to survival, and decision making is often disrupted in
disease. Here, we show that neural activity in a small population of neurons projecting to the …

It has been known for more than 40 years that individual neurons can produce more than
one neurotransmitter and that neuropeptides often are colocalized with small molecule …

Animals maintain metabolic homeostasis by modulating the activity of specialized organs
that adjust internal metabolism to external conditions. However, the hormonal signals …

The mechanisms by which clock neurons in the Drosophila brain confer an∼ 24-hr rhythm
onto locomotor activity are unclear, but involve the neuropeptide diuretic hormone 44 …
