A new study provides surprising evidence that people with narcolepsy have an increased number of neurons that produce histamine. This suggests that histamine signaling may be a novel therapeutic target for this potentially disabling sleep disorder. "The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptides promote wakefulness, and researchers have known for 13 years that narcolepsy is caused by loss of the orexin/hypocretin neurons in the hypothalamus," said principal investigator ...Tuesday, 4 June 2013
Surprising Increase in Neurons That Produce Histamine: Study
