Welcome to Science With Tal!

In this video, we will cover some basic sleep physiology, what & where orexin neurons are as well as what function do they mediate. We will also consider some clinical implications of orexin signaling and how it relates to sleep disorders such as narcolepsy and insomnia

To improve the quality of my content, I highly value the feedback from the viewer so do not hesitate to give any feedback in the comment section.
