A large population of diverse neurons in the <it>Drosophila </it>central nervous system expresses short neuropeptide F, suggesting multiple distributed peptide functions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Insect neuropeptides are distributed in stereotypic sets of neurons that commonly constitute a small fraction of the total number of neurons. However, some neuropeptide genes are expressed in larger numbers of neurons of diverse type...
