The neurobiological basis of narcolepsy
Open accessAbstract
Narcolepsy is the most common neurological cause of chronic sleepiness. The discovery about 20 years ago that narcolepsy is caused by selective loss of the neurons producing orexins (also known as hypocretins) sparked great advances in the field. Here, we review the current understanding of how orexin neurons regulate sleep-wake behaviour and the consequences of the loss of orexin neurons. We also summarize the developing evidence that narcolepsy is an autoimmune disorder that may be caused by a T cell-mediated attack on the orexin neurons and explain how these new perspectives can inform better therapeutic approaches.

Orexin neurons are both necessary and sufficient for wakefulness.
“Orexin neurons are both necessary and sufficient for wakefulness.”
From Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury on the Orexin/Hypocretin System (2025) · cites this paper as [36]
In ‘Activity and signalling’ (page unavailable), the review reports that stimulating orexin neurons rouses mice from sleep. In ‘Poor maintenance of wakefulness’ (page unavailable), it says orexin-null mice still have wake bouts, though these are shorter than in controls. The source therefore supports a wake-promoting role, but not the claim that orexin neurons are necessary for wakefulness itself. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWithout orexin or with altered orexin receptors, humans and animals experience narcolepsy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
