Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to physical and pharmaceutical methods of increasing or decreasing the activity of the Grueneberg Ganglion (GG) in a subject. In one embodiment, the method comprising administering a compound to the GG, wherein the compound is an agonist or antagonist, respectively, for at least one guanylyl cyclase receptor or the receptor's downstream effectors. The present invention also relates to methods of screening candidate compounds for their ability to modulate the activity of the GG. The present invention also relates to methods and kits for positively identifying a GG neuron based upon the presence or absence of the pGC-G or pGC-A receptors.
