Enhanced food-related responses in the ventral medial prefrontal cortex in orexin-deficient patients

2017-09-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Narcolepsy Type 1 is a chronic sleep disorder caused by a deficiency of orexin (hypocretin). In addition to sleep regulation, orexin is important for motivated control processes. Weight gain and obesity are common in narcolepsy. However, the neurocognitive processes associated with food-related control and overeating in orexin-deficient patients are unknown. We explored the neural correlates o...
