Peptides exist in the human body through different forms and are involved in a variety of life activities. Among them, neuropeptides are small molecular substances that are distributed in nervous tissues and participate in the life functions of the human nervous system. This is an indispensable endogenous substance. It has a certain potential value, can convey information, and then affect the body’s nervous system.
The content of neuropeptides is relatively low, but their activity is very high. They can not only convey information, but also regulate various physiological functions in the body. Moreover, neuropeptides are associated with the body’s sensory organs. When the body lacks neuropeptides. Sensory organs such as pain, itching, sadness and joy can also be affected. In addition, neuropeptides can also protect the body and stimulate the body’s defense response. Neuropeptides are essential for our learning, rest, thinking, exercise, development and metabolism.
Some neuropeptides can not only modulate cell function through synaptic (cell-sensing touch) release, but also modulate target cell activity at nearby or distant sites through non-synaptic release. Neuropeptides can also cooperate with nerve cells and nerve tissues to intervene in various life activities. So, neuropeptides are extremely important to the human body.
Do neuropeptides affect IQ?
Therefore, in today’s era of equal emphasis on intelligence and ability, intelligence quotient is also crucial for human beings. So, can we combine neuropeptides with IQ? And find out what are the main factors that determine IQ? With that in mind, a team from the University of San Diego has developed a device that can determine the intelligence level of others.
In this study, intelligence was defined as six universally representative behaviors: life skills, social behavior, emotional control, social behavior, insight, value relativism, and resolute behavior. The point is that these behaviors are controlled by neural material in six different areas of the brain. In the study, the researchers developed the San Diego Intelligence Scale (SD-WISE), which measures four general representative behaviors, such as life skills and social behavior, based on the amount of neuropeptides in the body. In addition, the authenticity and validity of SD-WISE are measures that rate the outcome of this device with respect to mental health.
Overall, this new tool can be used to judge a person’s intelligence and immeasurable potential, and help us understand the development of intelligence. This suggests that many neuropeptides are important for regulating brain development.
