Neurobiology of Peptides
Neurobiology explores how peptides signal within the nervous system — the cluster connecting Selank, Semax and DSIP.
Neuropeptides are signalling molecules that act within the nervous system.
They are studied across neurotrophic, neuroimmune and circadian research.
Receptor signalling is central to how neuropeptides act.
What is neurobiology?
Neurobiology is the study of the nervous system at the cellular and molecular level. Within this library it focuses on neuropeptides — short signalling molecules studied within central-nervous-system research.
Neuropeptide signalling
Neuropeptides act through receptor signalling pathways. Research topics range from neurotrophic signalling to neuroimmune interactions and circadian biology, connecting compounds such as Selank, Semax and DSIP.
