Functional consequences of neuropeptide and small-molecule co-transmission

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 389 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.56 Authors: Michael P. Nusbaum, Dawn M. Blitz & Eve Marder Colocalization of small-molecule and neuropeptide transmitters is common throughout the nervous system of all animals. The resulting co-transmission, which provides conjoint ionotropic ('classical') and metabotropic ('modulatory') actions, includes neuropeptide- specific aspects that are qualitatively different from those that result from metabotropic actions of small-molecule transmitter
