Agenda for IH and Narcolepsy Research with Emmanuel Mignor, MD, PhD

[@ProBloggerWorld]

Emmanuel Mignot deserves to Nobel Prize. He changed our understanding of the brain 🧠 by identifying Orexin as an important neurotransmitter that influences sleep, eating, wakefulness.

I feel confused. With orexin having to be measured in a CSF sample (not in plasma), I would think it hard to imagine the idea of a protein in the blood that could be measured to diagnose NT1, NT2, or IH. Or, do I misunderstand that if orexin were to be sought by plasma proteomics, it would not be found?
