Orexin A attenuates unconditioned sexual motivation in male rats

open access: yes, 2009
Orexins are neuropeptides involved in multiple neurophysiological functions such as reward and motivation. However, it is not clear whether orexins are implicated in sexual motivation.

Structure-guided discovery of orexin receptor-binding PET ligands

open access: yes
Molecular imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) can serve as a promising tool for visualizing biological targets in the brain. Insights into the expression pattern and the in vivo imaging of the G protein-coupled orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R

The dual orexin receptor antagonist almorexant induces sleep and decreases orexin-induced locomotion by blocking orexin 2 receptors

open access: yes, 2012
Orexin peptides regulate locomotor activity and sleep-wake balance by activating orexin 1 and orexin 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Dual OX1R and OX2R antagonists reduce activity and promote sleep in multiple species, including man.

Orexin and Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yes, 2016
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent age-related dementia. It prevalently causes cognitive decline, although it is frequently associated with secondary behavioral disturbances. AD neurodegeneration characteristically produces a remarkable destruction of the sleep-wake cycle, with diurnal napping, nighttime arousals, sleep fragmentation, and ...

The evolving role of structural biology in pharma: integration of X‐ray crystallography, cryo‐electron microscopy and beyond

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 587-602, June 2026.
This review describes how an integrated structural biology platform at Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, Rahway, New Jersey, USA, combining X‐ray crystallography, cryo‐EM, MicroED and cryo‐ET, enables seamless three‐dimensional insights from molecular to cellular length scales.

The Role of Orexin in Stress

open access: yes, 2010
Orexins (hypocretins) are novel neuropeptides released by some neurons identified in lateral hypothalamus. They are involved in the regulation of energy metabolism, neuroendocrine, sleep and waking.

Machine Learning for Diagnosis and Differentiation of Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence: A Systematic Review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 6, June 2026.
This graphical abstract presents the review process (including 41 studies). It highlights the use of machine learning techniques in adults with CDH, such as unsupervised learning for phenotype discovery and supervised learning for diagnosis classification. The figure summarizes the strengths and limitations of each approach, along with key clinical and

Orexin-B modulates synaptic transmission of rod bipolar cells in rat retina

open access: yes, 2017
PURPOSE: Orexin-A, -B play a crucial role in arousal and feeding by activating two G-protein-coupled receptors: OX1R and OX2R. Orexins and orexin receptors are expressed in retinal neurons.

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

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 3, June 2026.
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).
