Is narcolepsy brain damage?
2 hours ago by ameliamartin
Neurons in the hypothalamus that generate the chemical hypocretin (orexin), which controls wakefulness, are lost in the majority of cases, particularly type 1 narcolepsy. Rather of trauma or damage, this loss is frequently attributed to autoimmune mechanisms. Although it disrupts sleep-wake regulation, the illness often does not result in widespread cognitive deterioration. Medication, planned naps, and lifestyle modifications are the mainstays of treatment. Modvigil 200 is one of the wakefulness-promoting medications that doctors may provide to patients in order to enhance everyday functioning and lessen excessive daytime drowsiness.
