Sleep Disorders and Genes [PDF]
Versão preprintThe sleep-wake cycle is a neurobiological phenomenon that shows intervals of activity alternating with restfulness that appears with a periodicity approximating the 24h day-night cycle.

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, age‐related, neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline, memory loss, and accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and tau tangles. A key feature of AD is impaired protein homeostasis, often driven by autophagy dysfunction.

The role of orexins/hypocretins in alcohol use and abuse: an appetitive-reward relationship
Orexins (hypocretins) are neuropeptides synthesized in neurons located in the lateral, perifornical and dorsomedial hypothalamus. These neurons innervate many regions in the brain and modulate multiple other neurotransmitter systems. As a result of these

Sleep-wake disturbances 6 months after traumatic brain injury: a prospective study [PDF]
Sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In acute TBI, we recently found decreased CSF levels of hypocretin-1, a wake-promoting neurotransmitter.

Data of community dweller adults were derived from a survey study (3038 participants). We found that sleep duration is associated with intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD, and the association of long sleep duration with intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD was partially mediated by blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose.

Daily Fluctuation of Orexin Neuron Activity and Wiring: The Challenge of “Chronoconnectivity”
In the heterogeneous hub represented by the lateral hypothalamus, neurons containing the orexin/hypocretin peptides play a key role in vigilance state transitions and wakefulness stability, energy homeostasis, and other functions relevant for motivated ...

Narcolepsy: autoimmunity, effector T cell activation due to infection, or T cell independent, major histocompatibility complex class II induced neuronal loss? [PDF]
Human narcolepsy with cataplexy is a neurological disorder, which develops due to a deficiency in hypocretin producing neurons in the hypothalamus. There is a strong association with human leucocyte antigens HLA-DR2 and HLA-DQB1*0602.

Orexin receptor agonist Yan 7874 is a weak agonist of orexin/hypocretin receptors and shows orexin receptor-independent cytotoxicity [PDF]
Two promising lead structures of small molecular orexin receptor agonist have been reported, but without detailed analyses of the pharmacological properties.

Orexin/hypocretin peptide (orexin-A and orexin-B) signaling is believed to take place via the two G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), named OX1 and OX2 orexin receptors, as described in the previous chapters. Signaling of orexin peptides has been investigated in diverse endogenously orexin receptor-expressing cells - mainly neurons but also other ...

Temporal Course of Cerebral Autoregulation in Patients With Narcolepsy Type 1: Two Case Reports
Cerebral autoregulation is the mechanism by which constant cerebral blood flow is maintained despite changes in arterial blood pressure. In the two presented cases, cerebral autoregulation was impaired in patients with narcolepsy type 1, and both ...
