Synaptic transmission is modulated by #neuropeptides in sensory systems & interneurons. This study shows that motor #synapses are also modulated by neuropeptidergic signaling, where lower ACh levels are compensated by upregulation of postsynaptic Ca2+ channels @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4d6Ecgg
Here is my #introduction. I am a biologist interested in #neuroscience and the #evolution of cells and nervous systems. My research group studies #ciliated marine larvae from a whole-organism perspective, combining behaviour, #connectomics, #imaging, #CRISPR, #modelling and other approaches. We love marine #larvae, their #neurons, #cilia, and #neuropeptides.
To get a comprehensive list of #neuropeptides, we combined #bioinformatic screening and mass spectrometry in collaboration with Amanda Kieswetter and Liesbet Temmerman at KU Leuven. We found 15 new proneuropeptides and confirmed the endogenous processing (cleavage, amidation etc) of many of them. #Nematostella has at least 33 neuropeptide precursors.

My #introduction . I'm Nikki and I'm a #neuroscientist at Penn State University, Departments of #Biology and #BME My lab (made up of amazing trainees!) is focused on understanding how #neuropeptides regulate circuits in the brain, and how this is changed by events like stress and alcohol. I'm also an #academicmom with two kids #womeninstem #neuroscience
