Higher levels of D2R and D3R in the frontal–striatal regions are associated with reduced perseverative reward seeking after opioid abstinence
The elevated or relatively higher levels of D2R and D3R in the frontal-striatal regions may serve as protective factors for individuals abstaining from opioids, enabling them to control their reward-seeking behavior better.
