Abstract: Hyperphagia can develop secondary to hypercortisolism from stress or iatrogenic sources of glucocorticoids. Orexin (hypocretin) signaling in the brain plays a role in regulating adaptive behaviors including arousal, anxiety and feeding. Our aim was to… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction Fear and sleep impairments common co-exist, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Hypothalamic orexinergic neurons are involved in the regulation of sleep-wake and fear expression. The ventrolateral preoptic area (VLPO) is an essential brain… read more here.
