Optogenetic and pharmacological interventions link hypocretin neurons to impulsivity in mice
Optogenetic or pharmacological modulation of hypocretin neurons impacts mouse impulsivity in a Go/No-Go task, suggesting that these neurons play a key role in integrating salient stimuli and guiding responses to various environmental cues. Neurons in the

A direct estrogenic involvement in the expression of human hypocretin
Background Hypocretin-1 may play an important role in depression, which was increased in female depression in LHA in our previous study. Estrogen acts through its nuclear transcriptional receptors. Methods We studied the possibility of a direct action of

The hypocretins and sleep [PDF]
The hypocretins (also called the orexins) are two neuropeptides derived from the same precursor whose expression is restricted to a few thousand neurons of the lateral hypothalamus. Two G‐protein coupled receptors for the hypocretins have been identified, and these show different distributions within the central nervous system and differential ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES The diagnosis of narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is based upon the presence of cataplexy and/or a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypocretin-1/orexin-A level ≤110 pg/mL.

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

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