Amygdala plays a critical role in the regulation of emotional behavior and food intake.Neuropeptides are short chains of amino acids secreted by neurons as intercellular messengers,which regulate different functions such as emotion,food intake,learning and memory.In this review,we summarize the recent progress on the regulation of food intake by amygadala,which is mediated by those neuropeptides known to be critical in the regulation of this process.
