Abstract / Description of output
Neurones use many different chemical signals to communicate information, including more than 100 different peptides. Many of these neuropeptides evoke specific and coherent behaviours and have been linked to a number of neurological disorders. Increasingly, we are recognising that peptide signals play a role in information processing that is quite unlike that of conventional neurotransmitters.
