Abstract
The discovery of neurosecretory cardioactive neurohormones produced by hypothalamic nuclei (NSO and NPV), as well as the biosynthesis of several immunomodulators and cytokines (proline-rich polypeptides, PRP), deciphering of their chemical structure and study of PRPs biological properties led to the foundation of two important trends of neurobiology: neuroendocrine immunology and neuroendocrine cardiology.
