Abstract

The role of hypocretin (orexin) neurotransmission in waking and arousal, though of intense interest, is poorly understood. In this issue of Neuron, Mileykovskiy et al., 2005 demonstrate that, in general, hypocretin neurons are minimally active during both sleep and quiet waking. In contrast, these neurons display robust activity during periods of alert and/or active waking.
