DNA2004 submitted, created time 1 year 10 months (www.nature.com)

Orexins are hypothalamic peptides that play an important role in maintaining wakefulness in mammals. Permanent deficit in orexinergic function is a pathophysiological hallmark of rodent, canine and human narcolepsy. Here we report that in rats, dogs and humans, somnolence is induced by pharmacological blockade of both orexin OX1 and OX2 receptors

technology submitted, created time 1 year 10 months (www.pnas.org)

The researchers compared animals who were deprived of sleep for 72 hours with others who were not. They found those who missed out on rest had higher levels of the stress hormone corticosterone. They also produced significantly fewer new brain cells in a particular region of the hippocampus. It would be interesting to see if partial sleep deprivation - getting a little bit less sleep every night that you need - had the same effect.
