Integrative peptides.
Angiotensin and CCK are presented as examples of neuropeptides that might function in the body and the brain as hormones and neurotransmitters to integrate physiological functions with psychological functions. It is suggested that they be called, integrative peptides, to distinguish them from the more limited functions, or less well documented functions, of the other regulatory peptides.
