This was an achievement in itself. The animals suffered from extreme daytime sleepiness and had a propensity for mid-coital collapse: at moments of high emotion, the dogs, like narcoleptic humans, experienced sudden muscle weakness, or cataplexy. The first Stanford dog was a poodle named Monique. Later, there were other breeds; the Stanford colony, mostly Dobermans, had eighty dogs at its peak. Narcoleptic dogs gave birth to narcoleptic puppies; the disorder in canines has a single genetic cause. In 1999, after a decade-long search, a team led by Emmanuel Mignot, a researcher at Stanford, located the damaged gene, and reported that it encoded a receptor: the same one that had just been identified by the work done in California and Texas. Narcoleptic dogs lacked orexin receptors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great story about the development of Merck&#8217;s novel action sleep drug&#8230; From:\u00a0http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/reporting\/2013\/12\/09\/131209fa_fact_parker?currentPage=all The Big Sleep A woman recently posted online a description of her Ambien experiences: Ordered 3 pairs of saddle shoes from eBay Sexted my best male friend who is married.
