Maturation and Plasticity of Neuropeptides in the Visual System

  • Chapter
The Changing Visual System

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 222))

Abstract

A large number of peptides have been recently described within the vertebrate central nervous system. Some of them were previously localized in non-neural vertebrate tissue as well as lower species in which they may serve as primitive elements of intercellular communication (Krieger, 1983).
