Neuropeptide effects on brain development.
Peptides which act as neurotransmitters or neuromodulators in the adult nervous system exert influences on brain development. Altering the levels of neuropeptide to which a developing animal is exposed produces a wide variety of physiological and behavioral effects which are apparent in adulthood. Many of the developmental effects involve neural systems in which the neuropeptide plays a role in the adult.
