Numerous studies have demonstrated the correspondence between orexin transmission and reward-related behaviors. Orexin receptors are expressed in the hippocampus regions such as CA1, CA2, and CA3, as well as the DG region. The hippocampus is essential in learning and memory, and there is a correlation between reward and learning and memory processing.
