Increased immune complexes of hypocretin autoantibodies in narcolepsy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Hypocretin peptides participate in the regulation of sleep-wake cycle while deficiency in hypocretin signaling and loss of hypocretin neurons are causative for narcolepsy-cataplexy.

Increased Hypocretin (Orexin) Plasma Level in Depression, Bipolar Disorder Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
As hypocretin can markedly affect neurophysiological and behavioural processes in mood disorders. However, few studies have measured changes in hypocretin levels in patients with mood disorders.

IGFBP3 colocalizes with and regulates hypocretin (orexin). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The sleep disorder narcolepsy is caused by a vast reduction in neurons producing the hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptides. Based on the tight association with HLA, narcolepsy is believed to result from an autoimmune attack, but the cause of hypocretin cell ...

Hypocretin role in posttraumatic stress disorder-like behaviors induced by a novel stress protocol in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
IntroductionPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder developed in individuals who expose to traumatic events. These patients may experience symptoms, such as recurrent unwanted memory of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders ...

Narcolepsy, autoimmunity, and influenza A H1N1 vaccination [PDF]

open access: yesEncephalitis, 2021
Narcolepsy is a rare neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with or without cataplexy. A main pathophysiology of narcolepsy is hypocretin deficiency in the central nervous system resulting from a selective loss of ...

Orexinergic Input to Dopaminergic Neurons of the Human Ventral Tegmental Area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The mesolimbic reward pathway arising from dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been strongly implicated in reward processing and drug abuse.

Narcolepsy Type 1: Should We Only Target Hypocretin Receptor 2?

open access: yesClinical and Translational Neuroscience, 2023
Nearly 25 years have passed since the ground-breaking discovery that hypocretin deficiency underlies human narcolepsy with cataplexy. Over time, it has become increasingly evident that hypocretin deficiency goes beyond the conventional core symptoms, or ...

Progress of autonomic disturbances in narcolepsy type 1

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
Narcolepsy type 1 is a kind of sleep disorder characterized by a specific loss of hypocretin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and reduced levels of hypocretin-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Hypocretin-1 receptors regulate the reinforcing and reward-enhancing effects of cocaine: pharmacological and behavioral genetics evidence. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Considerable evidence suggests that transmission at hypocretin-1 (orexin-1) receptors (Hcrt-R1) plays an important role in the reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behaviors in rodents.

Hypocretin/orexin neurons encode social discrimination and exhibit a sex-dependent necessity for social interaction

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in the modulation of social behavior by encoding internal states. The hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons, initially identified as regulators of sleep and appetite, are important for emotional and ...
