[Altered higher brain function in PACAP-knockout mice].

Abstract excerpt

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide that functions as not only a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator but also a neurotrophic factor. To assess the roles of endogenous PACAP, several groups including ours have independently produced mice with targeted mutations in the PACAP gene. The phenotypes of the mutant mice both confirm and extend our knowledge of the physiological roles...
