Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the success of the previous Special Issue, Neuropeptides: Role and Function in Species of Veterinary, we are pleased to invite researchers to contribute to its second edition. Likewise, the focus of this Special Issue is the role and function of neuropeptides in species of veterinary interest.
Neuropeptides, being highly conserved during evolution, lend themselves to comparative and evolutionary studies. Due to their primary amino acid structure, neuropeptides are classified into several families. Thus, they can play different functional roles in organs and/or tissues of the same animal species, but, above all, between different species and classes. Furthermore, the explosion of research activity in this field has led to the identification of numerous endogenous naturally occurring peptides that act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators or trophic factors that act as mediators of nervous system functions.
Original manuscripts, review articles, and short communications and comments on neuropeptides in animals of veterinary interest are invited in this Special Issue. Multidisciplinary works will be prioritized.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
