4
Neuropeptides modulate neuronal communication by acting on cell surface receptors. Many neuropeptides are co-released with other small-molecule neurotransmitters. peptides are not recycled back into the cell once secreted
5
Catechol Adrenaline Noradrenaline Dopamine
6
Involved in: sleep and wakefulness, attention, and feeding behavior, as well as a stress hormone released by the adrenal glands that regulates the sympathetic nervous system. Norepinephrine
