Highly redundant neuropeptide volume co-transmission underlying episodic activation of the GnRH neuron dendron

The necessity and functional significance of neurotransmitter co-transmission remains unclear. The glutamatergic ‘KNDy’ neurons co-express kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin and exhibit a highly stereotyped synchronized behavior that reads out to the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)...
