Decapod crustaceans have long served as important models for the study of neuroendocrine signaling. For example, the process of neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated by using a member of this order. In this review, the major decapod neuroendocrine organs are described, as are their phylogenetic conservation and neurochemistry. In addition, recent advances in crustacean neurohormone discovery and tissue mapping are discussed, as are several recent advances in our understanding of hormonal control in this group of animals.

Survival of brachyuran crabs is temperature-dependent and thermal stress promotes changes during molting. We aimed to decipher the impact of thermal stresses on the X-organ/sinus gland (XO/SG) complex, a temperature-sensitive neuroendocrine tissue involved in the molting regulation of Callinectes sapidus during the intermolt and premolt phases. We employed a proteogenomic approach using specimens subjected to control (24 °C), cold (19 °C), and heat (29 °C) temperatures.

Neuropeptides are pivotal in regulating a broad spectrum of developmental, physiological, and behavioral processes throughout the life cycle of crustaceans. In this comprehensive study, we utilized a multiomics approach to characterize neuropeptide precursors and to assess the expression profiles of neuropeptide-encoding genes across various tissues and developmental stages in the Pacific white shrimp, . Additionally, we explored the differential expression of neuropeptide genes in the eyestalk before and after the RNA interference-mediated suppression of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) and vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone (VIH) gene expression.

Allometric growth is a typical characteristic of crustaceans, which mainly occurs among individuals, life stages, tissues, and between sexes. The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is an economically important crustacean species in the world. To date, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of neuroendocrine system in the allometric growth of P.

Knowledge of the neuroendocrine system possibly improves the reproductive performance of captivated crustacean broodstock in aquaculture and it may substitute eyestalk ablation. In this study, we explored the luteinizing hormone (LH)-like molecule and proved the existence of the LH receptor (PpelLHR)-like mRNA in the blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus. Using the anti-human LH-β antibody, the immunoreactivities were found in the central nervous system (CNS) and ovary of the crab with the strongest signal in the mature ovary.

Environmental cues such as temperature induce macroscopic changes in the molting cycle of crustaceans, however, the physiological mechanisms behind these changes remain unclearWe aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms in the intermolt and premolt stages of the Callinectes sapidus molt cycle in response to thermal stimuli. The concentration of ecdysteroids and lipids in the hemolymph, and the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and molt key genes were assessed at 19 °C, 24 °C and 29 °C. The premolt animals exhibited a much larger response to the colder temperature than intermolt animals.
