note = {The homologous neuropeptides neuromedinU (NMU) and hugin have similar effects on food intake and physical activity in mammals and Drosophila, respectively. Little is known about the neuronal networks that employ either neuropeptide. This study maps the connectivity of hugin-producing neurons in the Drosophila larva on both synaptic and peptide- receptor level.
This hugin connectome reveals that hugin neurons are organized into independent subnet- works, each with its own sets of pre- and postsynaptic partners. One of these subnetworks connects the chemosensory with the neuroendocrine system and thereby possibly provides the neural substrate for the effect of hugin neurons on feeding behavior. Strikingly, the connection between hugin and endocrine neurons is based on parallel synaptic transmission using acetyl- choline as synaptic small molecule transmitter and a peptide-receptor connection. Both types of transmission are required for the effect of hugin neurons on feeding behavior.
Among the targets of hugin neurons are neuroendocrine cells of the pars intercerebralis, the Drosophila homolog of the hypothalamus, that produce insulin-like peptides, diuretic hormone 44 and Dromyosuppressin. This chemical connectivity is very similar to how NMU operates in mammals, indicating a strong conservation between hugin and NMU, not only on the functional but also on a connectivity level.},
