  • Cort can also refer to:

  • Cort v. Ash, 1975 case in the United States Supreme Court
  • Cort, a fictional character in the Stephen King Universe.
  • Cortistatin (neuropeptide)

    Precortistatin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CORT gene. The 105 amino acid residue human precortistatin in turn is cleaved into cortistatin-17 and cortistatin-29. Cortistatin-17 is the only active peptide derived from the precursor.Cortistatin (or more specifically cortistatin-17) is a neuropeptide that is expressed in inhibitory neurons of the cerebral cortex, and which has a strong structural similarity to somatostatin. Unlike somatostatin, when infused into the brain, it enhances slow-wave sleep. It binds to sites in the cortex, hippocampus and the amygdala.

    Function

    Cortistatin is a neuropeptide with strong structural similarity to somatostatin (both peptides belong to the same family). It binds to all known somatostatin receptors, and shares many pharmacological and functional properties with somatostatin, including the depression of neuronal activity. However, it also has many properties distinct from somatostatin, such as induction of slow-wave sleep, apparently by antagonism of the excitatory effects of acetylcholine on the cortex, reduction of locomotor activity, and activation of cation selective currents not responsive to somatostatin.

    Pity For A Dime

    by: Creed

    An artificial season
    Covered by summer rain
    Losing all my reason
    Cause there's nothing left to blame
    Shadows paint the sidewalk
    A living picture in a frame
    See the sea of people
    All their faces look the same
    So I sat down for awhile
    Forcing a smile
    In a state of self-denial
    Is it worthwhile
    Sell my pity for a dime
    Yeah, Just one dime
    Sell my pity for a dime
    Yeah, Just one dime
    Plain talk can be the easy way
    Signs of losing my faith
    Losing my faith
    Plain talk can be the easy way
    Signs of losing my faith

    Yeah, Forcing a smile
    In a state of self-denial
    Yeah, Is it worthwhile
    Sell my pity for a dime
    Yeah, Just one dime
