The hypocretins: Hypothalamus-specific peptides with neuroexcitatory activity

TL;DR: A hypothalamus-specific mRNA is described that encodes preprohypocretin, the putative precursor of a pair of peptides that share substantial amino acid identities with the gut hormone secretin, suggesting that the hypocretins function within the CNS as neurotransmitters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurons Containing Hypocretin (Orexin) Project to Multiple Neuronal Systems

TL;DR: The results of this immunohistochemical study suggest that hypocretins are likely to have a role in physiological functions in addition to food intake such as regulation of blood pressure, the neuroendocrine system, body temperature, and the sleep–waking cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypocretin (orexin) activation and synaptic innervation of the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system.

TL;DR: The present results provide evidence for direct action of hypothalamic hypocretin cells on the LC noradrenergic system in rats and monkeys and suggest a signaling pathway via which signals acting on the lateral hypothalamus may influence the activity of the LC and thereby a variety of CNSfunctions related to noradRenergic innervation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forebrain afferents to the rat dorsal raphe nucleus demonstrated by retrograde and anterograde tracing methods

TL;DR: The forebrain afferents to the dorsal raphe nucleus are re-examined using cholera toxin b subunit and Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin as retrograde or anterograde tracers and a substantial to large number of retrogradely-labelled cells are observed in the central nucleus of the amygdala following tracer injections.
