The cholinergic pathway transmits signals of neuropeptide F to regulate feeding of Ostrinia furnacalis larvae.

The cholinergic transmission, positively regulated by NPF, is involved in feeding of O. furnacalis larvae via downstream PI3K and the CREB pathways, respectively. The deexcitation of cell cholinergic pathway or inhibition of PI3K and CREB lead to decreases of larval feeding amount.
