This volume of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences covers recent and new developments in all fields of neuroendocrinology, including neuroendocrine control of reproduction, stress, growth and metabolism, and hypothalamic neuropeptidergic systems.

The volume highlights recent and new developments in all fields ofneuropeptides in biological homeostasis regulation such as bodyweight and metabolism, reproduction, osmotic pressure reproduction. Special attention given to the phylogenetic aspects ofneuroendocrinology, from invertebrates to mammals includinghumans.

This volume provides a comprehensive review of recent developments in the fields of vertebrate and invertebrate endocrinology and neurobiology. The classical fields of comparative endocrinology and neurobiology are gaining new momentum from the many projects involving the sequencing of animal genomes.

This volume provides an overview on the biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), and related peptides. VIP and PACAP are undoubtedly among the most fascinating neuropeptides ever identified.
