Genes and primary headaches: discovering new potential therapeutic targets [PDF]
Genetic studies have clearly shown that primary headaches (migraine, tension-type headache and cluster headache) are multifactorial disorders characterized by a complex interaction between different genes and environmental factors.

Objective: The present study tests the hypothesis that changes in the glucose sensitivity of lateral hypothalamus (LH) hypocretin/orexin glucose-inhibited (GI) neurons following weight loss leads to glutamate plasticity on ventral tegmental area (VTA ...

Orexin-Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor Heteromers in the Ventral Tegmental Area as Targets for Cocaine [PDF]
Release of the neuropeptides corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and orexin-A in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play an important role in stress-induced cocaine-seeking behavior.

Acute High Fat Diet Consumption Activates the Mesolimbic Circuit and Requires Orexin Signaling in a Mouse Model [PDF]
Overconsumption of palatable energy-dense foods has negative health implications and it is associated with obesity andseveral eating disorders. Currently, little is known about the neuronal circuitries activated by the acute ingestion of arewarding ...

Human hypocretin and melanin-concentrating hormone levels are linked to emotion and social interaction. [PDF]
The neurochemical changes underlying human emotions and social behaviour are largely unknown. Here we report on the changes in the levels of two hypothalamic neuropeptides, hypocretin-1 and melanin-concentrating hormone, measured in the human amygdala ...

Hypocretin and brain β-amyloid peptide interactions in cognitive disorders and narcolepsy
Objective: To examine relationships between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Alzheimer’ disease (AD) biomarkers and hypocretin-1 levels in patients with cognitive abnormalities and hypocretin-deficient narcolepsy-cataplexy (NC), estimate diagnostic accuracy ...

Reward-based behaviors and emotional processing in human with narcolepsy-cataplexy
ajor advances in the past decade have led a better understanding of the pathophysiology of narcolepsy with cataplexy caused by the early loss of hypothalamic hypocretin neurons.
