[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 8097, member: 3"] Neuroscientists at SRI International have found that a form of baclofen, a drug used to treat muscle spasticity, works better at treating [URL="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/155244.php"]narcolepsy[/URL] than the best drug currently available when tested in mice. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), narcolepsy, a chronic neurologic disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, is not a rare condition, but is under-recognized and under-diagnosed. It is estimated to impact 1 in 2,000 people worldwide. In back-to-back papers published in [I]The Journal of Neuroscience[/I], Thomas Kilduff, Ph.D., who directs the Center for Neuroscience within SRI Biosciences, Sarah Wurts Black, Ph.D., a research scientist in the Center for Neuroscience, and colleagues present a mouse model of narcolepsy that mimics the human disorder better than other models currently in use. Kilduff, Black, and the SRI team then used the new narcolepsy model alongside a standard model to investigate a novel therapeutic pathway and to identify a promising way of treating narcolepsy.
