Research Overview

DSIP (delta sleep–inducing peptide) is a neuropeptide nonapeptide investigated in experimental systems for its roles in sleep–wake regulation, circadian biology and neuroendocrine modulation, including stress-adaptive signaling pathways.

Primary Research Areas

• Sleep regulation & circadian rhythm: models of slow-wave sleep, sleep architecture and biological clocks.
• Neuroendocrine & HPA-axis signaling: research on hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal interactions and stress adaptation.
• Stress-response models: experimental work on acute and chronic stress load and resilience mechanisms.
• Nociception & sensory processing: exploratory studies on pain perception and neuronal signaling circuits.
