| 1 | We further show that the level of tyramine-beta-hydroxylase (TBH), the enzyme that converts tyramine into octopamine in aminergic neurons, is increased by food deprivation, thus selecting between antagonistic amine actions on motoneurons. | Octopamine | Tyramine beta hydroxylase | Drosophila melanogaster |
| 2 | We further show that the level of tyramine-beta-hydroxylase (TBH), the enzyme that converts tyramine into octopamine in aminergic neurons, is increased by food deprivation, thus selecting between antagonistic amine actions on motoneurons. | Octopamine | Tyramine beta hydroxylase | Drosophila melanogaster |
| 3 | Therefore, octopamine and tyramine provide global but distinctly different mechanisms to regulate motoneuron excitability and behavioral plasticity, and their antagonistic actions are balanced within a dynamic range by nutritional effects on TBH. | Octopamine | Tyramine beta hydroxylase | Drosophila melanogaster |
