Hypothalamic Integration of Metabolic, Endocrine, and Circadian Signals in Fish: Involvement in the Control of Food Intake by María J. Delgado, José M. Cerdá-Reverter, José L. Soengas

“…As in mammals, a complex hypothalamic circuit including two populations of neurons: one co-expressing neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) and the second one population co-expressing pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is involved in the integration of information relating to food intake control. …”

A systematic review of resilient performance in defence and security settings. by Marc Vincent Jones, Nathan Smith, Danielle Burns, Elizabeth Braithwaite, Martin Turner, Andy McCann, Lucy Walker, Paul Emmerson, Leonie Webster, Martin Jones

“…There was mixed evidence for the predictive value of biomarkers, although there was some support for cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and neuropeptide-y (NPY), and vagal reactivity. Interventions to improve resilient performance were focused on mindfulness or general psychological skills, with effects generally clearer on cognitive tasks rather than direct performance outcomes in the field. …”
