⺠The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is expressed in a dopamine 1 receptor neurons. ⺠MC4R signaling regulates acquisition of operant responding for palatable food. ⺠MC4R signaling is required for learning in a cued version of the water maze. ⺠DARPP-32, a regulator of synaptic plasticity, is phosphorylated after MC4R agonist.
