EvaluationDue to the psychological and physiological differences between humans and dogs, there may be issues when trying to extrapolate results from the dogs used to humans. However, research has shown that dogs display similar symptoms of narcolepsy as humans, (such as cataplexy) and also respond to similar drugs like humans. Therefore, the differences between humans and dogs are not too large for the research into Orexin to also be applied to humans. |
