ROLE OF NEUROPEPTIDES IN HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
AbstractNeuropeptides are chemical messengers that are comprised with small chain of amino acid. Neuropeptides are synthesized and released by neurons. Neuropeptides belongs to class of neurotransmitters. Human Behaviour is dependent on social interaction and it is simply modulated by a human’s internal state. In humans, we observe different social contexts that can alter anxiety levels and modulate social behaviour. As like dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline these neuropeptides also modulate behaviours such as addiction, intelligence, habits, social behaviour, reproductive system, moods, pain, states of brain like excitement, sadness, happiness, anxiety, hallucination, depression etc. This review is also outlines about the neuropeptide CRF and NPY for their action on addiction, NPY for effect on memory function. Oxytocin is a birth hormone but it also controls major behavioural activities in male and female but mainly in female it increases social behaviour it gives powers to women hence that she can analyse social clues, identity faces, increase memory. In this review we discuss neuropeptides like Orexin, Dynorphin, Enkephalin, Galanin, CGRP, Oxytocin, CRF (corticotropin releasing factor), NPY (Neuropeptide Y), Phoenixin, Kisspeptin and their effects on behaviour on human with some experimental animal proof.
