Hypocretins and Arousal

open access: yes, 2016
How the brain controls vigilance state transitions remains to be fully understood. The discovery of hypocretins, also known as orexins, and their link to narcolepsy has undoubtedly allowed us to advance our knowledge on key mechanisms controlling the boundaries and transitions between sleep and wakefulness.

Orexin/Hypocretin: Wired for Wakefulness [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2003
Orexin neurons play a crucial role in regulating wakefulness and energy metabolism, but until recently, little was known about the factors that influence the activity of these essential cells. Electrophysiological studies have now identified positive and negative feedback signals that allow the orexin neurons to help maintain wakefulness.

A Meta‐Analysis of the Effects of Acute Sleep Deprivation on the Cortical Transcriptome in Rodent Models

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
How does sleep deprivation affect the brain? We performed a meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptional profiling datasets characterising the effects of sleep deprivation on cortical gene expression (n = 293 mice, 16,290 genes) and validated our results in an independent sample (n = 222 mice).

The Lateral Hypothalamus: An Uncharted Territory for Processing Peripheral Neurogenic Inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The roles of the hypothalamus and particularly the lateral hypothalamus (LH) in the regulation of inflammation and pain have been widely studied. The LH consists of a parasympathetic area that has connections with all the major parts of the brain.

Overnight Dynamics of Ventricular Cerebrospinal Fluid Amyloid‐Beta, Lactate and Hypocretin in Patients With Hydrocephalus: A Pilot Study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This pilot observational study evaluated whether frequent overnight sampling of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid could clarify how sleep, hypocretin and lactate relate to amyloid‐β42 dynamics in adults with hydrocephalus. Seven participants underwent hourly ventricular cerebrospinal fluid sampling from early evening to late morning during ...

In vivo clonal expansion and phenotypes of hypocretin-specific CD4+ T cells in narcolepsy patients and controls

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
T cells from narcolepsy patients were recently reported to recognize hypocretin, a wakefulness-promoting neurohormone, suggesting autoimmune origin of the disease. Here the authors show that hypocretin-specific T cells expand both in healthy controls and

Untersuchung der Dopaminrezeptor- sowie Hypocretin-Gen-Polymorphismen bei Parkinsin-Patienten mit "Schlafattacken" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Das idiopathische Parkinson-Syndrom (IPS) ist eine neurodegenerative Erkrankung unklarer Ätiologie. Das IPS wird klinisch durch die „Kardinalsymptome“ wie Ruhetremor, Rigor sowie Bradykinesie gekennzeichnet.

Investigation of the “Not Better Explained” Diagnosis Criteria in Sleep Disorder Classifications: A Systematic Content Analysis and Critical Review

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
The “Not Better Explained” (NBE) criterion plays a key role in preventing diagnostic misclassification by structuring causal reasoning in sleep medicine. This systematic content analysis compares the use, wording, and excluded conditions of NBE criteria across the ICSD‐3‐TR and DSM‐5‐TR for ten major sleep disorders.

Attention impairments and ADHD symptoms in adult narcoleptic patients with and without hypocretin deficiency. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Attentional complaints are common in narcolepsy patients and can overlap with daytime sleepiness features. Few studies attempted to characterize attentional domains in narcolepsy leading to controversial results.
