. . "Based on the clinical observation that patients suffering from narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC) have cataplectic attacks when they experience positive emotions, it is therefore hypothesised that the abnormal processing of external emotional input through the limbic system, or motor dysregulation induced by emotions, takes place during these episodes. To date, imaging studies have failed to reveal consistent brain abnormalities in NC patients. METHODS: Considering the discrepancies in reported structural or functional abnormalities of the hypothalamus, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens, we used the MRI volumetry to determine the volumes of the amygdala and nucleus accumbens in a group of eleven patients with NC (5 males and 6 females, mean age 41.7 years \u00B1 17.7)."@en . . . . .
