This journal publishes research on neuropeptides and their roles in physiological and behavioral processes across diverse species. Articles focus on the function of specific neuropeptides like allatostatins, neuropeptide Y (NPY), oxytocin, and PACAP in areas such as neurobiology, energy homeostasis, thermoregulation, and emotional processing. The scope includes investigations into the evolutionary significance of neuropeptide signaling and their involvement in conditions like obesity, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases.
