Neuropeptides: Reviewed by Abba Kastin
The Book "Neuropeptides: Regulators of Physiological Processes" is terrific. Not only does it provide the most comprehensive review of the field available anywhere , but it does so in an elegant style that remains amazingly easy to read. Moreover, the material is put together in such a way as to provide sophisticated new insights into the field.

great physiology book for integrative health practitioners
This book has been one of my most important resources for many years, though it has been out of print (unfortunately) for some time. It is the only book I have found that focuses on the integrative, regulatory approach to understanding how the body and psyche function. This is critical for my work in the integrity health field. It is in essence the perfect physiology book for those people ...

Models of Neuropeptide Action (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)
Fleur L. Strand, Bill Beckwith

New York Academy of Sciences, 1994

This work concentrates on specialised models of neuropeptide action. The papers in this first section conclude that actions of neuropeptides are highly specific, with specificity related not only to the peptide, but also to dosage, pattern and timing of administration, tissue substrate and age. The impact of neuropeptide action in behaviour relating to ingestion, epilepsy and alcohol is also addressed. Maternal-foetal interactions are discussed, ...

Neuropeptides: Structure and Function in Biology and Behavior (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)
Curt Sandman, Fleur L. Strand, ...

New York Academy of Sciences, 2000

Papers from the twentieth Winter Neuropeptide Conference expand many of the conference's original research areas, such as conservation of function--which is especially impressive in the neuropeptides--across a spectrum of vertebrate and invertebrate studies. The similarity of active conformations of MIF variants, for example, is demonstrated between insect and mammalian species. The rate of embryonic and fetal brain development, which appears to ...
