Abstract excerpt
In neurons, which are post-mitotic cells, a structural and biochemical plasticity occurs, namely for the mediators. The magnocellular hypothalamic neurons innervating the neural lobe are a favourable model for the study of the dynamic aspects of neuropeptides expression. In fact, they synthetize these peptides in large amounts, as a function of the physiological or experimental conditions. In addition to the...
