“This is an up-to-date look at these hypothalamic neuropeptides and how we have come to understand their wide range of neuroregulatory roles. … This is highly technical book that reviews in detail the research that has led to the discovery and understanding of the orexin neuropeptides and their role in a wide range of neuromodulatory systems. … provide some insights into how manipulation of this system may result in therapeutic interventions for a number of neurological and psychiatric conditions.” (Michael Easton, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2016)
