**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The orexin system, comprising orexin-A (hypocretin-1) and orexin-B (hypocretin-2) neuropeptides and their cognate G-protein coupled receptors OX1R (HCRTR1) and OX2R (HCRTR2), represents a critical nexus between sleep-wake regulation and immune modulation in the central nervous system. The HCRTR2 gene encodes the orexin receptor 2 (OX2R), which exhibits predominant expression in hypothalamic nuclei, brainstem arousal centers, and notably, on microglial cells...
