narcolepsy

Daytime sleepiness, muscle-tone loss, and/or consciousness loss {narcolepsy}| can follow laughing or stress.

Brain pathway that causes muscle-movement loss during sleep has changes. Forebrain inhibits amygdala, which excites pons, which inhibits locus coeruleus, which excites muscles. Amygdala inhibits pons, which activates medial medulla, which normally inhibits motor neurons.

Perhaps, narcolepsy is an autoimmune disorder [Guilleminault et al., 1976] [Guilleminault, 1976] [Siegel, 2000].

Narcolepsy relates to an antigen {human leukocyte antigen} (HLA).

Hypocretin peptide neurotransmitter mutations can cause mammalian narcolepsy.
