Neuropeptides in the autonomic nervous system.

P Marley, B G Livett

    CRC Critical Reviews in Clinical Neurobiology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This review explores recent advances in neuropeptide anatomy, distribution, and function within the peripheral nervous system. It specifically examines co-storage and co-release with neurotransmitters in sensory neurons, autonomic neurons, and the adrenal medulla.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cellular Biology
    • Neuroendocrinology

    Background:

    • Neuropeptides play crucial roles in the peripheral nervous system.
    • Understanding their distribution and function is key to comprehending neural signaling.
    • Recent research has shed light on novel aspects of neuropeptide activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent advances in the anatomy and cellular distribution of neuropeptides in the peripheral nervous system.
    • To discuss the concept of co-storage and co-release of neuropeptides with conventional neurotransmitters.
    • To examine the proposed physiological functions of neuropeptides in sensory neurons, autonomic neurons, and the adrenal medulla.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of recent scientific publications.
    • Analysis of studies on neuropeptide localization and release mechanisms.
    • Synthesis of findings on the physiological roles of neuropeptides in different nervous system divisions.

    Main Results:

    • Neuropeptides are widely distributed across the peripheral nervous system, including sensory neurons, autonomic neurons, and the adrenal medulla.
    • Evidence supports the co-storage and co-release of neuropeptides alongside classical neurotransmitters.
    • Specific neuropeptides exhibit diverse proposed functions, influencing neurotransmission and physiological regulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Neuropeptides are integral components of peripheral neural communication.
    • The co-release of neuropeptides offers a sophisticated mechanism for modulating neural signals.
    • Further research into neuropeptide function is essential for understanding and potentially treating neurological disorders.
