RATIONALE: Regulatory neuropeptide systems appear to modulate anxiety and emotionality, since anxiety in rats can be increased by intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of diazepam-binding-inhibitor fragment (DBI) and decreased by ICV administration of neuropeptide Y (NPY) or substance P (SP).
