Hypocretin/orexin disturbances in neurological disorders [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Medicine Reviews, 2009
The hypothalamic hypocretin (orexin) system plays a crucial role in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. The strongest evidence for this is the fact that the primary sleep disorder narcolepsy is caused by disrupted hypocretin signaling in humans as ...

The orexin/hypocretin system in neuropsychiatric disorders: Relation to signs and symptoms.

Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2021
Hypocretin-1 and 2 (or orexin A and B) are neuropeptides exclusively produced by a group of neurons in the lateral and dorsomedial hypothalamus that project throughout the brain.

The Orexin/Hypocretin System, the Peptidergic Regulator of Vigilance, Orchestrates Adaptation to Stress

Biomedicines
The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptide family has emerged as a focal point of neuroscientific research following the discovery that this family plays a crucial role in a variety of physiological and behavioral processes. These neuropeptides serve as powerful

Narcolepsy and the hypocretins

Metabolism, 2006
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurologic disease characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and one or more of three additional symptoms (cataplexy, or sudden loss of muscle tone; vivid hallucinations; and brief periods of total paralysis) related to the occurrence of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep at inappropriate times.

Hypocretin receptor 1 involvement in cocaine-associated behavior: Therapeutic potential and novel mechanistic insights.

Brain Research, 2020
Since its discovery in 1998, the hypocretin/orexin system has been identified as a critical modulator of behavior. Through interactions with dopamine neurons of the ventral tegmental area, this system is poised to regulate motivation for drug rewards by ...

Relationship between CSF hypocretin levels and hypocretin neuronal loss

Experimental Neurology, 2003
The sleep disorder narcolepsy may now be considered a neurodegenerative disease, as there is a massive reduction in the number of neurons containing the neuropeptide, hypocretin (HCRT). Most narcoleptic patients have low to negligible levels of HCRT in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and such measurements serve as an important diagnostic tool.

The Hypocretin/Orexin Story

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000
Newly described peptides, produced in neurons in the lateral hypothalamic area, have been shown to stimulate appetite and stereotypic behaviors associated with feeding. Discovered independently by two groups, the hypocretins/orexins stimulate autonomic function and have been shown to be physiological regulators of the arousal state.
