Neuropeptides are involved in numerous brain activities and are responsible for a wide spectrum of higher mental functions. The main purpose of this outline structural qualitative study was to identify the possible immunoreactivity of classical neuropeptides, as well as novel ones such as nesfatin-1, phoenixin (PNX), spexin (SPX), neuromedin U (NMU) and respective receptors within the rat claustrum for the first time. The study shows the novel identification of peptidergic neurotransmission in the rat claustrum which potentially implicates a contribution of this neuropeptide to numerous central neurosecretory mechanisms.

大鼠屏状体中的神经肽——免疫组织化学检测

神经肽参与许多大脑活动，并负责广泛的高级心理功能。本概要结构定性研究的主要目的是确定经典神经肽以及新神经肽（如 nesfatin-1、phoenixin (PNX)、spexin (SPX)、neuromedin U (NMU) 和相应受体内可能的免疫反应性）首次获得大鼠屏状体。该研究显示了大鼠屏状体中肽能神经传递的新鉴定，这可能暗示这种神经肽对许多中枢神经分泌机制的贡献。
