In addition to their pivotal physiologic roles, the hypothalamic neurohormones and their analogs offer a huge therapeutic potential for the treatment of diverse pathologies, especially the disorders of the endocrine and urogenital systems. The Nobel-prize winner Prof. Dr. A. V. Schally's research group contributed to this field, with exceptional achievements, such as the description of several hypothalamic neurohormones and the development of a multitude of agonist, antagonist, and cytotoxic compound analogs. In this book, the authors give a glimpse at their new experimental results, which promise new possibilities in the therapy of neurological diseases, with special emphasis on Alzheimer's disease and central nervous system malignancies.
