Epigenetic control of cancer by neuropeptides [PDF]
, 2016 Neuropeptides act as neurohormones, neurotransmitters and/or neuromodulators. Neuropeptides maintain physiological homeostasis and are paramount in molecular mechanisms of disease progression and regulation, including in cancer.

Insect Mating Behaviors: A Review of the Regulatory Role of Neuropeptides
InsectsInsect mating behaviors are complex, diverse, and primarily regulated by neuropeptides and their receptors. Neuropeptides are peptide signaling molecules mainly secreted by insects’ central nervous system (CNS) to reach target organs.

Neuropeptides in platyhelminths
Parasitology, 1991 The neuropeptide story began in 1928 with the description by Ernst Scharrer of gland-like nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the minnow,Phoxinus laevis.Because these nerve cells were overwhelmingly specialized for secretory activity, overshadowing other neuronal properties, Scharrer termed them ‘neurosecretory neurons’.

Maturitas, 1984 In 1960/61 it was found that the release of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) in response to emotional, but not to somatic or systemic stress, was diminished in rats in which the vasopressin storage organ, the posterior intermediate lobe of the rat pituitary, had been surgically removed [1,2].
