The circadian system of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae: The role of FMRFamide-related peptides in the circadian system and the role of the anterior and posterior optic commissures in the coupling of both pacemakers

The accessory medulla, the circadian clock of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae, is abundant in neuropeptides. Among these neuropeptides are the FMRFamide-related peptides (FaRPs), which generally share the C-terminal RFamide. In my doctoral thesis, I aimed at gaining insights in the functional role...
