Hypocretin/Orexin Neurons Endogenously Regulate Somatic Motoneuron Excitability

The role of hypocretin neurons in modulating somatic motoneuron excitability and hence muscle tone is poorly understood. We investigated whether hypocretin neurons influence the hypoglossal and trigeminal motor pools that innervate the genioglossus and masseter muscles respectively, both of which fu...
