... evident in younger flies. Finally, we show that a neuromodulatory circuit in the fly brain, Drosophila neuropeptide F (dNPF), can be recruited to guide visual decision making. Optogenetic activation of dNPF-expressing neurons converted a visually repulsive object into a more attractive object...

... analyses of pellet consumption and mass change were performed with SPSS software (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA) using a univariate analysis of variance. Fig. 2. Alignment of the nucleotide sequences of Litopenaeus vannamei and Melicertus marginatus neuropeptide F-encoding transcripts. Litva-NPF I...

...% reduction of the voltage at 10 –7 mol l –1 . A. aegypti neuropeptide F and proctolin reduced V te at submicromolar concentrations. At 10 –6 mol l –1 ,neuropeptide F reduced V te by 30% and proctolin reduced V te by 50%. In contrast, A. aegypti allatotropin, A. aegypti head peptides I and III and A. aegypti...
