Abstract
The symptoms, results of clinical and neurologic, and encephalographic studies, course and treatment, and etiology of 158 cases with narcolepsy is reviewed. Evidence is strongly suggestive that the syndrome is a nonepileptic disturbance of subcortical origin. It appears to be a state of depression of the arousal system, possibly from a neuro-humoral deficiency.Keywords
