Neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area synthesize and release orexins, which then act on
Dysfunction of the orexin-hypocretin system is strongly implicated in narcolepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by excessive
Research into the orexin-hypocretin system has opened new avenues for therapeutic interventions for sleep disorders. Orexin
