Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Peptides are a class of intercellular messengers that are found in virtually every bodily organ. Evidence is reviewed here that peptides may function physiologically in brain pathways that coordinate and integrate whole-organism responses. The focus is on selected peptides that produce complementary neuropharmacological actions on behavior, endocrine secretions and autonomic nervous activity.
