ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel-Mediated Lactate Effect on Orexin Neurons: Implications for Brain Energetics during Arousal [PDF]

, 2010
Active neurons have a high demand for energy substrate, which is thought to be mainly supplied as lactate by astrocytes. Heavy lactate dependence of neuronal activity suggests that there may be a mechanism that detects and controls lactate levels and/or ...

Genes and primary headaches: discovering new potential therapeutic targets [PDF]

, 2013
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.

Roles of orexin in modulating arousal, feeding and motivation

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
Orexin deficiency results in narcolepsy in humans, dogs, and rodents, suggesting that the orexin system is particularly important for maintenance of wakefulness.

Forensic considerations on violent parasomnias during lifespan [PDF]

, 2018
Nocturnal parasomnias are a group of sleep complex manifestation that don't alter the sleep macrostructure, but when persistent during adulthood may be assume violent aspects with relevant forensic implications about the ...

Visuospatial skills in children affected by primary nocturnal enuresis: Rehabilitative proposals [PDF]

, 2018
The sphincterial control problems in childhood are very common, with relevant comorbidities (i.e.: difficulty in academic performance, sleep disturbances, minor neurological signs) involved in the complex process of maturation and learning, such as to ...

Orexin neurons receive glycinergic innervations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Glycine, a nonessential amino-acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is currently used as a dietary supplement to improve the quality of sleep, but its mechanism of action is poorly understood.

Orexin/Hypocretin and MCH Neurons: Cognitive and Motor Roles Beyond Arousal

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is classically implicated in sleep-wake control. It is the main source of orexin/hypocretin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neuropeptides in the brain, which have been both implicated in arousal state switching ...

A rare genetic variant in the cleavage site of prepro-orexin is associated with idiopathic hypersomnia

npj Genomic Medicine, 2022
Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a rare, heterogeneous sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness. In contrast to narcolepsy type 1, which is a well-defined type of central disorders of hypersomnolence, the etiology of IH is poorly ...

Motor skills in children with primary headache: A pilot case-control study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Headache is the most common painful manifestation in the developmental age, often accompanied by severe disability such as scholastic absenteeism, low quality of academic performance and compromised emotional functioning. The aim of the study

Interactions between Lateral Hypothalamic Orexin and Dorsal Raphe Circuitry in Energy Balance

Brain Sciences
Orexin/hypocretin terminals innervate the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), which projects to motor control areas important for spontaneous physical activity (SPA) and energy expenditure (EE).
