Abstract The orexigenic neuropeptide melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) is well positioned to play a key role in connecting brain reward and homeostatic systems due its synthesis hypothalamic circuitry receptor expression throughout the cortico‐striatal circuit. Here we examined whether targeted‐deletion of MCH (MCH‐1R) gene‐targeted heterozygote knockout mice (KO), or systemic treatment with pharmacological agents designed antagonise MCH‐1R C57BL/6J would disrupt two putative consequences...
