Abstract excerpt
Histamine and orexins are wake promoters released by hypothalamic neurons. The activity of histamine neurons is increased by orexin neurons. Recently, it has been shown that orexin deficiency entails high-amplitude theta wave bursts during rapid eye movement sleep and cataplexy in narcoleptic mice. The primary aim of this study was to assess whether histamine system is involved in high-amplitude theta wave burst...
