Neuropeptide Vs Neurotransmitters
a: Neuropeptide ~
b: wine—the production
What: "Classical neuropeptides are like wine-the production takes a long time and cannot be rushed, so the product is stored (in vesicles for neuropeptides, in bottles)... nuerotransmitters are more like making espresso......make quickly and used up fast..... On page 82 from

a: Neuropeptide ~
b: the classic neurotransmitters
What: "neuropeptides are like the classic neurotransmitters: they are packaged into synaptic vesicles, their release is dependent on Ca++, and they bind to specific receptors on target neurons. However, there are also significant differences, ones that have led to alternative names for the intercellular communication mediated by neuropeptides, such as nonsynaptic, parasynaptic, and volume transmission."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
