Abstract
Thus far there is no treatment for addiction to substances. However, a new upcoming target of research is the orexin system. Orexin is a neuropeptide that plays a role in the reward system. Orexins antagonists are effective in reducing cravings in alcohol and cocaine addiction and thereby preventing relapse. This thesis examines whether orexin antagonists are potential treatments for substance abuse.
