Description
The aim of Neuropeptides is the rapid publication of original research and review articles, dealing with the structure, distribution,
actions and functions of peptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The explosion of research activity in this field has
led to the idenfication of numerous naturally occurring endogenous peptides which act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, or trophic
factors, to mediate nervous system functions. Increasing numbers of non-peptide ligands of neuropeptide receptors have been developed,
which act as agonists or antagonists in peptidergic systems.
The journal provides a unique opportunity of integrating the many disciplines
involved in all neuropeptide research. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of the neuropeptide field, with particular emphasis
on gene regulation of peptide expression, peptide receptor subtypes, transgenic and knockout mice with mutations in genes for neuropeptides
and peptide receptors, neuroanatomy, physiology, behaviour, neurotrophic factors, preclinical drug evaluation, clinical studies, and
clinical trials.
Original papers predominate. Manuscripts may be of any length, but must be complete studies; preliminary communications
are not accepted. Review articles and hypothesis papers are welcomed, and will be evaluated in the same way as experimental papers. Authors
intending to submit a review are advised to communicate their intentions to the Editor, to avoid possible duplication.
