What Makes Us Persist Toward Long-Term Goals? Recent graduate Sneha Aenugu and John O'Doherty have tested how humans juggle different long-term goals, finding that we tend to over-persist in long-term goals even when switching goals might be more...

Striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor regulation of human reward processing and behaviour | Nature Communications Signalling at dopamine D2/D3 receptors is thought to underlie motivated behaviour, pleasure experiences and emotional expression based on animal studies, but it is unclear if this is the case in humans or how this relates to neural processing of reward stimuli. Using a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover neuroimaging study, we show in healthy humans that sustained dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonism for 7 days results in negative symptoms (impairments in motivated behaviour, hedonic experience, verbal and emotional expression) and that this is related to blunted striatal response to reward stimuli. In contrast, 7 days of partial D2/D3 agonism does not disrupt reward signalling, motivated behaviour or hedonic experience. Both D2/D3 antagonism and partial agonism induce motor impairments, which are not related to striatal reward response. These findings identify a central role for D2/D3 signalling and reward processing in the mechanism underlying motivated behaviour an

In a study with a 7-day dopamine D2/D3 receptor blockade, healthy humans experienced negative effects on motivation and reward processing. #NeuroscienceInsights PMID:39984436, Nat Commun 2025, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-56663-7 #Medsky 🧪
