Narcolepsy is caused by the loss of hypocretin-/orexin-producing neurons, a discovery made in 1999 thanks to Dr. Mignot’s research that led to advances in diagnosis and treatment. Although current pharmacotherapy is still largely focused on symptomatic treatment, investigational orexin-2 agonists may be the future of disease modifying treatments in narcolepsy.
