Brain monoamines have been extensively studied with respect to their effects on food intake, meal patterns, and appetite for specific It is now evident, however, that certain peptides coexist with the monoamines in neurons of the brain, 3 and investigators have attempted to determine the nature of the interaction between these neuropeptides and the classical neurotransmitters, as well as their receptors. The peptides may act directly via their own peptidergic receptors and independently of the monoamines; they may also act in a dependent fashion, either presynaptically through modulating the release of the monoamines or postsynaptically through modulation of the monoaminergic effector response or through a direct receptor-receptor interaction. There is evidence for each of these possibilities, and the specific role, relative importance, and mode of interaction of the different coexisting messengers in the overall effector response appears to vary with the geometry of innervation and the receptor characteristics of the specific tissue under investigation. This review will focus on two peptides, namely, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin (GAL), which, like the monoamines, are found to have dramatic effects on ingestive behavior and endocrine processes. These peptides are known to have particularly high concentrations within the hypothalamus where they coexist, in certain neurons, with the classical aminergic neurotransmitters. Recent findings4 suggest that these hypothalamic neurocircuits may provide excellent model systems for examining, in localized brain areas, the precise nature of the peptide-amine interactions in the brain and their physiological function in controlling ingestive behavior and related endocrine and metabolic processes.The monoamines are found to have potent and varied effects on eating behavior, in the rat as well as in a variety of other specie^.'.^,^ This review will concentrate on two monoaminergic systems identified in the medial hypothalamus, namely, the a2-noradrenergic and serotonergic systems, and then examine their relation to the neu-
