Abstract

Orexin neuropeptides have functional roles in hippocampal-dependent memory formation via the consolidation and retrieval of passive avoidance and spatial memories. The effects of these neuropeptides have been confirmed on the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). The orexinergic system seems to have modulatory effects by sending projection fibers to several brain parts, such as the hippocampus and amygdala. Orexin neuropeptides activate the neural circuits of the basolateral amygdala during different arousal events with various emotional loads. Therefore, this system plays a vital role in creating appropriate behavioral reactions and responses particular to the situation. This review aimed to report new progression and advances in the hippocampus function in memory by focusing on its relationship with the amygdala through the orexinergic system.
