Pharmacological studies on the contribution of the neuropeptide proctolin to the cephalic control of singing behavior in grasshopper Chorthippus biguttulus (L.1758)
Das artspezifische Gesangsverhalten der Feldheuschrecke Chorthippus biguttulus läßt sich sowohl bei Männchen als auch bei Weibchen durch Injektionen des Pentapeptids Proktolin in das zentrale Protozerebrum auslösen. Das stimulierte Verhalten entspricht bezüglich der seiner zeitlichen Struktur und …

Biophysical mechanisms of frequency-dependence and its neuromodulation in neurons in oscillatory networks
… dissertation, it is shown that the neuropeptide proctolin produces antiresonance in the follower lateral pyloric neuron, but not in the PD neuron. This finding is inconsistent with the known influences of proctolin. However, a novel proctolin-activated ionic current is shown to produce the …

Mapping the Neural Circuits That Modulates the Molecular Switch Between Alternative Interval Timing Behaviours in Drosophila Melanogaster
… Firstly, we infer that synaptic contacts between proctolin and SIFamide neurons in the subesophageal ganglion mediate inhibition in SMD whereas proctoclin as a neuropeptide modulates both LMD and SMD in a non-synaptic manner. Secondly, we describe an existing insulin-related microcircuit that is …

Cell-selective modulation of the neuromuscular system in Drosophila
… neuropeptide secreted into circulation, and iii) Proctolin - a pentapeptide released both from motor neuron terminals and into circulation, I was able to investigate not only the capacity of these various substances to work in a cell-selective manner, but also examine the different mechanisms of …

Functional characterisation of the hypertrehalosaemic hormone from the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus: metabolic and myotropic studies
… that crustacean cardioactive peptide and proctolin are capable of increasing the heart beat rate of the stick insect more than the AKH/RPCH peptides. It was also shown that the stick insect heart beat rate can be inhibited by octopamine. This is the first study to investigate, in detail, …
