The inferior colliculus is a critical structure for processing auditory information and receives ascending and descending synaptic auditory projections. In addition to GABAergic and glutamatergic innervations, other neurotransmitter systems are also reported in the inferior colliculus, including opioid peptides. In

The lack of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived melanocortin peptides results in hypoadrenalism and severe obesity in both humans and rodents that is treatable with synthetic melanocortins. However, there are significant differences in POMC processing between humans and rodents, and little is known

The endogenous opioid system has been implicated in the rewarding and reinforcing effects of alcohol. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons located within the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ArcN) secrete multiple peptides associated with alcohol consumption, including β-endorphin (β-END), α-melanocyte stimulating hormone
