Orexins (also known as hypocretins) are neuropeptides located exclusively in hypothalamic
neurons that have extensive projections throughout the central nervous system and bind two …

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates brain development and function, energy
metabolism and stress in a sex-, age-and tissue-dependent manner. The ECS comprises …

Orexins are excitatory neuropeptides, which are predominantly associated with feeding
behavior, sleep-wake cycle and energy homeostasis. The orexinergic system comprises of …

Abstract Objective Orexin-A (OX-A) is a neuropeptide produced selectively by neurons of the
lateral hypothalamus. It exerts powerful control over brain function and physiology by …

Orexin neurons are involved in homeostatic regulatory processes, including arousal and
feeding, and provide a major input from the hypothalamus to the ventral tegmental area …

The neuropeptide orexin is involved in motor circuit function. However, its modulation on
neuronal activities of motor structures, integrating orexin's diverse downstream molecular …
