Differences in D2 dopamine receptor availability and reaction to novelty in socially housed male monkeys during abstinence from cocaine (2010)

COMMENTS: Demonstrates that animals who are dominant have higher levels of D2 receptors, and take longer before investigating a novel item placed in their cage. In humans, dominance translates to feeling good about yourself and your life. Less attracted to novelty means less likely to become addicted and feeling satisfied with what you have. Psychopharmacology […]
