The isolation and characterization of a host of peptides extracted from mammalian nervous tissue in the past 30 years has naturally led to study of their functional roles. Multidisciplinary approaches utilizing electrophysiological, anatomical, neurochemical and behavioral methods have provided evidence that these peptides are present in neurons and act as neurotransmitters or neuromodulators (Snyder, 1980; Krieger and Martin, 1982a, b). They may, like certain other substances, serve both a central and peripheral function. For example, when epinephrine is released from the adrenal medulla, it is a hormone in the traditional sense; in the central nervous system (CNS) it appears to function as a neurotransmitter. Administration of these peptides by intraventricular, intracisternal, or intracerebral routes is an attempt to mimic their concentration in the extracellular space at the synaptic cleft. While such studies have been criticized on methodological grounds (Nemeroff and Prange, 1982), these methods have revealed much information about the effects of peptides at specific CNS loci. Other experiments have focused on physiological and behavioral alterations after systemically administered peptides; these are confounded by rapid degradation of the administered peptide by peptidases and the limited entry of peripherally administered peptide across the blood-brain barrier (Oldendorf, 1982). It is important to recognize that parenterally administered peptides can produce behavioral and/or physiological alterations by exerting peripherally (and not centrally) mediated effects (eg actions on the autonomic nervous system or on vascular smooth muscle).In this article we review the pharmaco-behavioral effects of the hypothalamic hypophysiotropic hormones, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), melanocyte stimulating hormone-releasing-inhibiting factor (MIF), luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), somatostatin (SRIF) and corticotropin-releasing factor, as well as, neurotensin, substance P and bombesin. A variety of other peptides have been recently found to be present in the mammalian CNS including cholecystokinin, the opioid peptides (eg fl-endorphin, dynorphin, the enkephalins), insulin, calcitonin, bradykinin, gastrin, carnosine, delta sleep-inducing peptide, oxytocin, vasopressin, glucagon, angiotensin II and vasoactive intestinal peptide. The localization, putative function and effects of these peptides have been reviewed (Prange et al., 1978; Nemeroff and Prange, 1978); space limitations do not permit their inclusion in the present discussion. It is important to note the recent findings, now confirmed in many laboratories, of the presence of the adenohypophyseal hormones in the CNS. Thus, immunoreactive TSH, GH, ACTH and
