Abstract: Reward system alterations lead to addictive disorders. High availability of dopamine D2 receptor would be protective against alcoholism in the subjects with high inherited risk for alcohol addiction. Ventral striatum dopamine D2 receptors availability in alcohol addicted subjects is decreased. There would be a homeostatic dopamine baseline level in the ventral striatum.
