As I discussed in this essay last year, the levels of dopamine at D2 receptors may mediate parts of the u-shaped response curve to psycho stimulants. One of the key pieces of evidence for this is that suboptimal baseline activity at D2 receptors in certain brain regions is related to more impulsive responding. Recently, Lee [...]
