This major scientific breakthrough opened a new frontier of studies in Endocrinology and its related fields, Neuroendocrinology and Psychoneuroendocrinology. Neuropeptides were initially thought to be involved in homeostatic regulation and secreted only from neurons located in the hypothalamus; they are now recognized neurotransmitters, produced in and secreted from distinct brain areas, associated with a myriad of, not only, motivated, but also psychopathological behaviours. Motivated behaviours are determinant for individual and species survival, but their expression in a large spectrum and deviations from average may give rise to a number of psychiatric conditions. 517 $aNeuropeptides and Behaviour 610 $adrug adiction 610 $asleep 610 $astress 610 $aanxiety 610 $astress resilience 610 $aNeuropeptides 610 $aadaptive behaviours 610 $afeeding behaviour 610 $adepression 700 $aCarol F.
