We have shown that the neuro-degeneration of the brain cells that synthesize the chemical hypocretin causes the noradrenaline system to malfunction. When the norandrenaline system stops working properly, it fails to keep the motor and cognitive systems coupled. This results in cataplexy -- the muscles fall asleep but the brain stays awake.
Methinks they may have missed a step...
Insulin induced hypoglycemia drastically reduces noradenaline levels.
(Hypotonia is a common and well documented symptom of hypoglycemia.)
And since their goal is another drug to sell you-
Caffeine counteracts reductions in the turnover of central noradrenaline.
