The brain activation patterns related to sleep resistance remain to be discovered in health and disease. The maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) is an objective neuropsychological assessment often used to assess an individual’s ability to resist sleep.

Orexin in the chicken hypothalamus: immunocytochemical localisation and comparison of mRNA concentrations during the day and night, and after chronic food restriction [PDF]
In mammals Orexin-A and -B are neuropeptides involved in the hypothalamic regulation of diverse physiological functions including food intake and the sleep-wake cycle.

Narcolepsy Following Yellow Fever Vaccination: A Case Report [PDF]
Narcolepsy with cataplexy is a rare, but important differential diagnosis for daytime sleepiness and atonic paroxysms in an adolescent. A recent increase in incidence in the pediatric age group probably linked to the use of the Pandemrix influenza ...

The DNA/RNA autophagy protein SIDT2 as a novel neuropathological hallmark in Huntington disease
SIDT2‐immunoreactive inclusions are observed in the striatum, cerebral cortex, and hypothalamus in HD cases with different Vonsattel grades, and the frequency of SIDT2‐immunoreactive inclusions is associated with longer CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene.

Hypocretin neuron-specific transcriptome profiling identifies the sleep modulator Kcnh4a [PDF]
Sleep has been conserved throughout evolution; however, the molecular and neuronal mechanisms of sleep are largely unknown. The hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin (Hcrt) neurons regulate sleep/wake states, feeding, stress, and reward.

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Orexin/hypocretin receptor signalling cascades [PDF]
Orexin (hypocretin) peptides and their two known G‐protein‐coupled receptors play essential roles in sleep–wake control and powerfully influence other systems regulating appetite/metabolism, stress and reward. Consequently, drugs that influence signalling by these receptors may provide novel therapeutic opportunities for treating sleep disorders ...

Ageing‐related modification of sleep and breathing in orexin‐knockout narcoleptic mice
Summary Narcolepsy type‐1 (NT1) is a lifelong sleep disease, characterised by impairment of the orexinergic system, with a typical onset during adolescence and young adulthood. Since the wake–sleep cycle physiologically changes with ageing, this study aims to compare sleep patterns between orexin‐knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) control mice at ...
