  • We have developed a specific radioimmunoassay for "cerebellin", a 16-amino acid peptide recently isolated from rat cerebellum. (ox.ac.uk)
  • The mechanisms underlying this loss of superficial layer fast inhibition, and a concomitant increase in slow inhibition, appeared to be precipitated by a loss of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-mediated local circuit inhibition and a subsequent increase in vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-mediated disinhibition. (modeldb.science)
