Overview
Neuropeptides are small proteins used by neurons and glia to communicate. They can influence neurotransmission, neurotrophic factor expression, stress responses, sleep architecture, and behavior. Many are derived from larger precursor proteins or hormones.
Research focus
Cognitive and neuropsychiatric research uses neuropeptides to probe BDNF signaling, GABAergic tone, stress resilience, and sleep mechanisms. Most evidence comes from animal gene expression studies.
