Abstract
Synaptic plasticity is a cellular process involved in learning and memory whose alteration in its two main forms (Long Term Depression (LTD) and Long Term Potentiation (LTP)), is observed in most brain pathologies, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In humans, AD is associated at the cellular level with neuropathological lesions composed of extracellular deposits of β-amyloid (Aβ) protein aggregates and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, cellular loss, neuroinflammation and a general brain homeostasis dysregulation. Thus, a dramatic synaptic environment perturbation is observed in AD patients, involving changes in brain neuropeptides, cytokines, growth factors or chemokines concentration and diffusion. Studies performed in animal models demonstrate that these circulating peptides strongly affect synaptic functions and in particular synaptic plasticity. Besides this neuromodulatory action of circulating peptides, other synaptic plasticity regulation mechanisms such as metaplasticity are altered in AD animal models. Here, we will review new insights into the study of synaptic plasticity regulatory/modulatory mechanisms which could influence the process of synaptic plasticity in the context of AD with a particular attention to the role of metaplasticity and peptide dependent neuromodulation.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide that can be found in the cerebral cortex in high concentrations and is involved in learning and memory as well as neurodegenerative processes. Cortical brain samples from 9 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 9 matched control cases were studied with respect to the concentrations of various molecular forms of CCK and the CCK receptor binding characteristics. No differences were found between patients and controls in any of these measures. Significant correlations were found between the concentrations of CCK-8 sulphated and the three nonsulphated CCK peptides measured. In addition, the concentrations of CCK-4 and CCK-5 showed a highly significant and positive correlation.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) has emerged as an important mammalian neuropeptide, localized in peripheral organs and in the central nervous system. This review presents an overview of the molecular aspects of CCK peptides and CCK receptors, the anatomical distribution of CCK, the neurophysiological actions of CCK, release of CCK and effects of CCK on release of other neurotransmitters, and the actions of CCK on digestion, feeding, cardiovascular function, respiratory function, neurotoxicity and seizures, cancer cell proliferation, analgesia, sleep, sexual and reproductive behaviors, memory, anxiety, and dopamine-mediated exploratory and rewarded behaviors. Human clinical studies of CCK in feeding disorders and panic disorders are described. New findings are presented on potent, nonpeptide CCK antagonists, selective for the two CCK receptor subtypes, which demonstrate that endogenous CCK has biologically important effects on physiology and behavior.

Abstract
Intrastriatal infusions of cholecystokinin-8-sulphate in the rat exerts a dose-dependent inhibition of dopamine-release from nigrostriatal terminals in the neostriatum, as measured by push-pull perfusion. This effect is abolished by excitotoxic lesions of the neostriatum, which, along with behavioural, electrophysiological and receptor binding studies, suggests that cholecystokinin exerts its action indirectly on dopamine release via receptors located on intrinsic striatal neurons. Grafts of embryonic striatum implanted in the lesioned striatum become innervated by host-derived dopamine axons and restore the response of those host neurons to cholecystokinin infusion. This suggests that the innervation of the grafts by dopaminergic axons of the host brain does not simply provide a tonic input to the grafts, but rather represents a phasic input that is under dynamic local regulation by graft-host feedback influences from the transplanted neurons themselves.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) and benzodiazepine receptor binding characteristics were analyzed in the brain tissue samples from 19 suicide victims and 23 control cases. In the frontal cortex, significantly higher apparent number of CCK receptors and affinity constants were found in the series of suicide victims. These differences between suicides and controls were present in similar proportions when the suicide cases with depressive syndrome or violent or non-violent means of self-killing were compared to matched controls. However, when the samples were split into subgroups consisting of persons either below or over the age of 60 years, significant differences in the CCK receptor characteristics in the frontal cortex were observed only between younger suicides and controls. Furthermore, the younger suicide victims had a higher density of CCK receptors in the cingulate cortex, whereas in older suicides the value was lower as compared to age-matched controls. No difference in benzodiazepine receptor binding was found between control and suicide groups. The results of this investigation suggest that CCK-ergic neurotransmission is linked to self-destructive behaviour, probably through its impact on anxiety and adaptational deficits.

Abstract
The coexistence of cholecystokinin- and tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivities within neurons of the rat ventral mesencephalon was analyzed by using an indirect immunofluorescence technique for the simultaneous demonstration of two antigens in the same tissue section. A high degree of colocalization was observed in the substantia nigra pars compacta, in which 80-90% of all labeled neurons at rostral and up to 70% at intermediate levels contained both cholecystokinin and tyrosine hydroxylase. At caudal levels, the incidence of colocalization declined to approximately 30-50%. All of the immunoreactive perikarya in the substantia nigra pars lateralis were labeled with both substances. Other areas of the ventral midbrain that exhibited a moderate proportion of neurons immunoreactive for both cholecystokinin and tyrosine hydroxylase included the ventral tegmental area, interfascicular nucleus, and rostral and caudal linear nuclei. In addition, coexistence was occasionally observed within neurons of the central and ventral periaqueductal gray matter, supramammillary region, peripeduncular region, retrorubral field, and extremely rarely, within the substantia nigra pars reticulata. Cell bodies containing tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivity (indicative of dopamine) usually outnumbered those containing the peptide except in the supramammillary region and in the ventral periaqueductal gray matter, where the cholecystokinin perikarya were present in higher numbers. The double-labeling colocalization technique was combined with fluorescence retrograde tracing to determine some of the forebrain projections of these neurons. Ventral midbrain neurons containing both cholecystokinin and tyrosine hydroxylase were found to project to the caudate-putamen, nucleus-accumbens, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala. These projections originated from neurons located predominantly in the substantia nigra pars compacta and the ventral tegmental area. Thus, cholecystokinin occurs within the well-known dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway in the rat. Overall, these results demonstrate that a significant proportion of the dopamine neurons giving rise to the ascending mesotelencephalic projections also contain the peptide cholecystokinin.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) binding sites were localized by in vitro autoradiography in human postmortem brain materials from 12 patients without reported neurological diseases using [125I]Bolton-Hunter CCK octapeptide (BHCCK-8) as a ligand. The pharmacological characteristics of BHCCK-8 binding to mounted tissue sections were comparable to those previously reported in the rat. CCK-8 being the most potent displacer, followed by caerulein, CCK-4, and gastrin I. The distribution of BHCCK-8 binding sites was heterogeneous. These sites were highly concentrated in a limited number of gray matter areas and nuclei. The highest binding densities were seen in the glomerular and external plexiform layers of the olfactory bulb. BHCCK-8 binding sites were also enriched in the neocortex, where they presented a laminar distribution with low levels in lamina I, moderate concentration in laminae II to IV, high density in lamina V, and low levels in lamina VI. A different laminar distribution was seen in the visual cortex, where a low receptor density was observed in lamina IV but higher density in laminae II and VI. In the basal ganglia the nucleus accumbens, caudatus, and the putamen presented moderate to high densities of binding sites, while the globus pallidus lacked sites of BHCCK-8 binding. In the limbic system the only area presenting moderate to high density was the amygdaloid complex, particularly in the granular nucleus, while most of the thalamic nuclei were extremely poor or lacked BHCCK-8 binding. The hippocampal formation showed low (CA1-3) to moderate (subiculum) densities. Midbrain areas generally disclosed very low levels of BHCCK-8 binding sites. The pontine gray and the nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis showed a relatively high density of CCK-8 receptor specific binding. Moderate to very high densities were found in few nuclei of the lower brainstem and spinal cord as the inferior olives and their accessory nuclei, the arcuate nuclei, the striae medullares, the efferent (motor) nucleus of the vagus, and the substantia gelatinosa of the cervical and thoracic spinal cord. These results are discussed in relation to the distribution of endogenous peptide and to the known physiological and pharmacological effects of substances acting on these receptors.

Abstract
Neuropeptides are widely distributed in the central nervous system, where they serve as neuroregulators. Recent interest has focused on their role in degenerative neurological diseases. We describe the normal anatomy of neuropeptides in both the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia as a framework for interpreting neuropeptide alterations in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Concentrations of cortical somatostatin are reduced in AD and in dementia associated with Parkinson's disease. Concentrations of neuropeptide Y and corticotropin-releasing factor are also reduced in AD cerebral cortex. The reduced cortical concentrations of somatostatin and neuropeptide Y in AD cerebral cortex may reflect a loss of neurons or terminals in which these two peptides are co-localized. In Huntington's disease, basal ganglia neurons in which somatostatin and neuropeptide Y are co-localized are selectively preserved. Cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of neuropeptides in AD reflect alterations in cortical concentrations. Improved understanding of neuropeptides in degenerative neurological illnesses will help define which neuronal populations are specifically vulnerable to the pathological processes, and this could lead to improved therapy.

Abstract
The effects of somatostatin (SOM) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on basal and potassium-induced release of acetylcholine (ACh) were investigated in slices of rat caudate nucleus (CN) and, for comparison, cerebral cortex (CX). Potassium (5-55 mM) produced a concentration-dependent increase in the release of [3H]ACh in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. SOM (1 microM), CCK-8 (1 microM) and the dopamine (DA) receptor agonist, apomorphine (APO, 30 microM) inhibited the K+-induced (35 mM) release of [3H]ACh by 26-32% from CN, but did not affect ACh release from CX. Other peptides (1 microM), such as Met-enkephalin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, thyrotropin-releasing hormone and substance P, had no effect on release of [3H]ACh in CN or CX. Sulpiride (SULP), a dopamine receptor antagonist, prevented the effects of APO and SOM, but not CCK-8, to inhibit [3H]ACh release. The results indicate that: (1) SOM and CCK-8 inhibit the release of [3H]ACh in CN, but not CX; and (2) the inhibitory effect of SOM, but not CCK-8, on [3H]ACh release is mediated by dopaminergic mechanisms.

Abstract
The high-affinity binding of thirteen ligands to putative neurotransmitter receptors was studied in temporal cortex of control and Alzheimer-type dementia (ATD) patients. A selective reduction of serotonin S2 receptors was observed in the ATD patients, to 57% of controls with no change in S1 receptors. Of the other ligand binding sites studied, only 3H-flunitrazepam binding was significantly reduced, to 84% of controls. Ligand binding sites which were unchanged in ATD temporal cortex included those labelled by adrenergic, adenosine, histamine, opiate, GABA, benzodiazepine and cholinergic ligands.

Abstract
The decapeptide from the frog Hyla caerulea, caerulein (caerulein diethylammonium hydrate, ceruletide, CER) is chemically closely related to the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8). Like CCK-8, CER and some of its analogues produce many behavioural effects in mammals: inhibition of intake of food and water; antinociception; sedation; catalepsy; ptosis, antistereotypic, anticonvulsive and tremorolytic effects; inhibition of self-stimulation. Effects of CER in man comprise sedation, satiety, changes in mood, analgesia and antipsychotic effects. A modulation of central dopaminergic functions appears to be one possible mechanism of CER and its analogues. A common denominator for all effects of CER is, at present, not evident.
