On the occasion of David de Wied's retirement as Professor of Pharmacology and Chairman of the Board of the Rudolf Magnus Institute, it was thought to be the appropriate moment to publish a volume reviewing the state-of-the-art concept on neuropeptide research. A major part of this research originated from De Wied, and the authors who contributed to the volume are all former or current associates. The volume begins with a classic article written by David de Wied in the late 1960's, which pointed the direction on which twenty years of multidisciplinary research could be based. Further chapters include aspects such as central neurohypophyseal hormone receptors and receptor mediated cellular responses, neuropeptides and behavioral adaptation: structure-activity relationships, neuro-opioid peptides and blood pressure control, neuropeptides and brain aging.
