PET-measured human dopamine synthesis capacity and receptor availability predict trading rewards and time-costs during foraging

Abstract Foraging behavior requires weighing costs of time to decide when to leave one reward patch to search for another. Computational and animal studies suggest that striatal dopamine is key to this process; however, the specific role of dopamine in foraging behavior in humans is not well charact...
