The example provided does not specifically mention or imply that the olfactory system is connected to the reward circuits in the brain. It focuses on the emotional and memory-related responses (safety, security, and nostalgia) triggered by the smell of chocolate chip cookies, which are more directly related to the amygdala and hippocampus's roles in processing emotions and memories, rather than the reward system.
