オレキシン
1. OrexinOrexin, also called hypocretin, is a neurotransmitter that regulates arousal, wakefulness, and appetite. The most common form of narcolepsy, in which the sufferer briefly loses muscle tone, is caused by a lack of orexin in the brain due to destruction of the cells that produce it. The brain contains very few cells that produce orexin: in a human brain, about 10,000 to 20,000 neurons in the hypothalamus.
