UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009474	Neurons	The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM.	Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D009479	Neuropeptides	Peptides released by NEURONS as intercellular messengers. Many neuropeptides are also hormones released by non-neuronal cells.	Neuropeptide
D000068797	Orexins	Neuropeptide hormones that play a role in regulating a variety of behavioral and physiological processes in response to motivational stimuli.	Hypocretin,Orexin,Hypocretin-1,Hypocretin-2,Hypocretins,Orexin-A,Orexin-B,Hypocretin 1,Hypocretin 2,Orexin A,Orexin B
D064446	Orexin Receptors	G-protein-coupled NEUROPEPTIDE RECEPTORS that have specificity for OREXINS and play a role in appetite control, and sleep-wake cycles. Two principle receptor types exist, each having a specificity for OREXIN A and OREXIN B peptide subtypes.
