Loss of orexin/NARP neurons in human narcolepsy
... People with narcolepsy have a loss of orexin/hypocretin (ORX) immunoreactivity and mRNA, and cerebrospinal fluid levels of ORX are often reduced in patients with cataplexy. Mice and dogs lacking ORX or ORX receptors display narcolepsy-like symptoms similar to those observed in people. Further, mice ...
