Abstract
This volume contains the final versions of the papers presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Computational Models for Cell Processes (CompMod 2011). The workshop took place on September 10, 2011 at the University of Aachen, Germany, in conjunction with CONCUR 2011. The first edition of the workshop (2008) took place in Turku, Finland, in conjunction with Formal Methods 2008 and the second edition (2009) took place in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, as well in conjunction with Formal Methods 2009. The goal of the CompMod workshop series is to bring together researchers in Computer Science (especially in Formal Methods) and Mathematics (both discrete and continuous), interested in the opportunities and the challenges of Systems Biology.

Journal of Experimental ZoologyEvidence that insect dorsal unpaired medican (DUM) neurons are octopaminergic
233 Citations1975Graham Hoyle
Neither the cell body nor the neuron fluoresces with the Falck-Hillarp treatment, even after a period of ligature has caused an accumulation of vesicles, suggesting that this neuron, and the other efferent DUM neurons, are octopaminergic.
ScienceOctopamine-Sensitive Adenylate Cyclase: Evidence for a Biological Role of Octopamine in Nervous Tissue
216 Citations1973James A. Nathanson, Paul Greengard
An adenylate cyclase that is activated specifically by very low concentrations of octopamine has been identified both in homogenates and in intact cells of the thoracic ganglia of an insect nervous system, raising the possibility of a role ofOctopamine-sensitive adenYLate cyclases in the physiology of synaptic transmission.

107 Citations1974Juan M. Saavedra, Michael Brownstein +2 more
Octopamine has been identified and measured in individual neurons from Aplysia californica and neither dopamine nor norepinephrine was detected in these cells, suggesting that in AplySia there may be separate populations of catecholaminergic and monophenlaminergic cells.

104 Citations1968N. Frontali
The localization of catecholamines has been studied in the brain of the cockroach Periplaneta americana by means of a fluorescence histochemical method, and the α- and β-lobes have been found to be markedly fluorescent, with transverse striations of stronger fluorescence.

The fine structural anatomy of processes of the octopamine cells in regions near their cell bodies, the release ofOctopamine from these regions with K ~ depolarization and the induction byoctopamine of a long lasting contracture in lobster exoskeletal muscles are reported.
Brain ResearchDetection of dopamine, noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the cerebral ganglion of the desert locust,Schistocerca gregaria forsk (insecta: orthoptera)
80 Citations1973Nikolai Klemm, Sture Axelsson
The locust cerebral ganglion was shown to contain intraneuronal dopamine and noradrenaline, with a predominance of dopamine, and the neuropil structures contained mostly one of these catecholamines.

The occurrence of catecholamines in vertebrates has been extensively studied in recent years after the development of simple and accurate methods for the quantitative assay of such compounds.

Journal of Experimental ZoologyOctopamine: Presence in firefly lantern suggests a transmitter role
71 Citations1976H.A. Robertson, Albert D. Carlson
It is suggested that the nerves to the firefly lantern are octopaminergic, and Firefly lanterns were assayed for octopamine using a sensitive, specific enzymatic assay.

47 Citations1970G Mancini, N. Frontali
In the brain of the cockroach Periplaneta americana, the beta lobes of the corpora pedunculata respond with an intense positive reaction to a specific fluorescence histochemical method for catecholamines, but the fluorescence reaction disappears completely after prolonged treatment of thecockroaches with reserpine.
Journal of Experimental BiologyThe innervation of the salivary gland of the moth, <i>Manduca sexta</i>: evidence that dopamine is the transmitter
43 Citations1975H.A. Robertson
Evidence was found for the presence of a catecholamine in the salivary gland nerves of the moth, Manduca sexta, and it seems likely that dopamine mediates fluid-secreting region of the gland of Manduca as it does a number of other arthropods.

35 Citations1975H.A. Robertson
Octopamine has been found in very high concentrations in cerebral and subpharyngeal ganglia of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris and may function as a neurotransmitter in the peripheral nervous system.
Insect BiochemistryEffect of monophenolic amines on glycogen metabolism in the nerve-cord of the american cockroach, Periplaneta americana
29 Citations1973H.A. Robertson, J.E. Steele
Evidence is presented to show that octopamine is not identical with the corpus cardiacum factor causing glycogenolysis in the nerve-cord, and it is shown that the effect of tyramine or its β-hydroxylated derivativeOctopamine results from the activation of phosphorylase.

27 Citations1974H.A. Robertson
The salivary glands of the moth, Manduca sexta (Insecta: Sphingidae), are unlike most other salivARY glands in that they are innervated from one source only.

The strong inhibitory effect of dopamine in parts of the central nervous tissue of the ant correlates well with the presence of catecholamine-containing nerve cells in the brain of the cockroach.

The activity of the locust brain enzyme may be slightly lower at the time of imaginal ecdysis than during the mature period, by contrast, the dopa decarboxylase that produces dopamine as an intermediate in cuticle biosynthesis is known to be high in activity at theTime of Ecdysis and low in activity during the intermoult stages.
