Lesions of the suprachiasmatic nucleus eliminate the daily rhythm of hypocretin-1 release.
Sleep. 2004; (4): 619-27
Hypocretins (orexins) are involved in the sleep disorder narcolepsy. While hypocretin-1 has a daily oscillation, little is known regarding the relative contribution of circadian and homeostatic components on hypocretin release. The effect of lesions of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) on hypocretin-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was examined.
