Cognitive Health

There is increasing evidence that bremelanotide along with other melanocortin receptor agonists may help improve cognitive health. Studies show that they exert this effect through the following mechanisms:
1. Melanocortin receptor agonists interact with brain chemicals that regulate socioemotional behaviors and cognitive skills, including oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and corticotropin-releasing factor. [39-42]
2. In rodents, melanocortin receptor agonists improve general cognitive processes, including social information processing and social reinforcement. [43-47]
