Title of Invention

A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION.

Abstract Modafinil is effective in improving symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and symptoms of multiple sclerosis fatigue. The administration of modafinil is also shown to activate the tuberomamillary neurons of the posterior hypothalamus, and thus exhibits activity in an area of the brain associated with normal wakefulness functions. A method of identifying a compound that selectively modulates activity of the tuberomamillary nuclues of the posterior hypothalamus is also disclosed.
