Increased Numbers of CD4+ T‐Cells in the Hypocretin/Orexin Region of Narcolepsy Type 1

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1173-1178, May 2026.
Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is presumed to be an autoimmune disorder caused by hypothalamic loss of hypocretin (Hcrt; orexin). In postmortem NT1 brains, we observed an 11‐fold increase of CD4+ T‐cells in the Hcrt region compared with control hypothalami, without a corresponding rise in CD8+ T‐cells.

Hypnotic doses of fazamorexant induced less impairment on balance and cognition than zolpidem in healthy younger and elderly individuals

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1473-1486, May 2026.
Aims Fazamorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of insomnia. This study aims to determine the dose‐exposure‐response relationship of single‐dose fazamorexant vs. zolpidem in young adult and elderly healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods This single‐centre, randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐ and active‐

The distribution of Hypocretin/Orexin receptor mRNA in the mouse and human brain

Medicine in Drug Discovery
Hypocretin (Hcrtr, HCRTR) / orexin (OX) receptors modulate a range of neurobiological functions and are drug targets for several disorders. Mapping the distribution of receptors in the brain can inform their function and guide targeting of specific ...

Excitotoxic degeneration of hypothalamic orexin neurons in slice culture

Neurobiology of Disease, 2004
Several lines of evidence indicate that narcolepsy, a sleep disorder, results from the loss of hypothalamic orexin (hypocretin)-containing neurons, but the mechanisms responsible for selective elimination of this neuronal population are unknown.

Exploring Linalool‐Based Phytotherapy for Excitatory/Inhibitory Imbalance in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Lavender and Cannabis Therapeutic Effects on Sleep, Seizures, and Cognition

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 2604-2631, May 2026.
Schematic overview of the proposed neuromodulatory actions of linalool in Alzheimer's disease. Through multi‐target effects on oxidative stress, amyloid aggregation, GABAergic and glutamatergic signaling, linalool may restore excitatory/inhibitory balance.

Comparative effects of hypnotic agents on sleep architecture and respiratory outcomes in obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, Volume 80, Issue 5, Page 390-397, May 2026.
Aim This network meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to investigate which hypnotics are associated with the most favorable sleep architecture and respiratory outcomes in adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods Primary outcomes included total sleep time (TST) and apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) during TST.
