==Overview==
Narcolepsy is a long term [[neurological]] [[sleep disorder]], which was first reported in Germany by Westphal and Fisher (1877-1878). French [[physician]] [[Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau]] (1880) first named this [[Disorder (medicine)|disorder]] as narcolepsy and identified it as a specfic [[clinical]] entity, while Loëwenfeld (1902) and Kinnier Wilson (1928) subsequently named the terms, [[cataplexy]] and [[sleep paralysis]], respectively. [[Hypocretin]]<nowiki/>s ([[orexins]]) were first identified by DeLecea and Sakurai in 1990s but [[Association (statistics)|association]] between [[Hypocretin]] [[deficiency]] and [[human]] narcolepsy was established by Nishino and Ripley later in 2000.

*The association between [important risk factor/cause] and [disease name] was made in/during [year/event].
*[[Cataplexy]] from the ''Greek'' '''kataplexis''' ([[Fixation (visual)|fixation]] of the [[eyes]]), was first named by Loëwenfeld (1902) as he was the first to name brief episodes of [[muscle weakness]] triggered by [[emotions]].<ref>Löwenfeld L. Uber Narkolepsie. Munch. Med. Wochenschr., 49: 1041-1045, 1902.</ref>

*Kinnier Wilson (1928) first coined the term, "[[Sleep paralysis|sleep paralysis.]]"
*In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].
*Large [[case series]] of narcolepsy with [[cataplexy]] was published by Addie (1926), Wilson (1927), and Daniels (1934).<ref>Addie W.

*Various [[causes]] or [[lesions]] were proposed for narcolepsy. [[Tumors]] situated in relation to the [[third ventricle]] were suggested as a possible [[Causes|cause]] of narcolepsy by Wilson. The [[Association (statistics)|association]] of [[occulomotor|oculomotor]] [[paralysis]] and [[somnolence]] led to the pioneering work of Von Economo (1930) who first recognized the [[posterior]] [[hypothalamus]] as a [[critical region]] for the promotion of [[wakefulness]] and correctly proposed that a region in the [[posterior]] [[hypothalamus]] was lesioned in [[human]] narcolepsy.<ref>Van Economo C. Sleep as a problem of localization. J. Nerv. Ment. Disease, 71(3): 249-259, 1930.</ref>  He specifically wrote: “''it is very probable, though not proved, that the narcolepsy of Redlich, Westphal, and Gélineau has its primary [[Causes|cause]] in a yet unknown [[disease]] of that region''”.
*The classic description of narcolepsy [[tetrad]] was possible due to further work by Yoss and Daly at the Mayo [[clinic]] in 1957 and Bedrich Roth in Prague.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1159/isbn.978-3-318-05312-8}}</ref><ref name="pmid13441766">{{cite journal| author=YOSS RE, DALY DD| title=Criteria for the diagnosis of the narcoleptic syndrome. | journal=Proc Staff Meet Mayo Clin | year= 1957 | volume= 32 | issue= 12 | pages= 320-8 | pmid=13441766 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=13441766  }} </ref>

Overview

Narcolepsy is a long term neurological sleep disorder, which was first reported in Germany by Westphal and Fisher (1877-1878). French physician Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau (1880) first named this disorder as narcolepsy and identified it as a specfic clinical entity, while Loëwenfeld (1902) and Kinnier Wilson (1928) subsequently named the terms, cataplexy and sleep paralysis, respectively. Hypocretins (orexins) were first identified by DeLecea and Sakurai in 1990s but association between Hypocretin deficiency and human narcolepsy was established by Nishino and Ripley later in 2000.
