Impulsive Actions and Choices in Laboratory Animals and Humans: Effects of High vs. Low Dopamine States Produced by Systemic Treatments Given to Neurologically Intact Subjects

Increases and decreases in dopamine transmission have both been suggested to influence reward-related impulse-control. The present literature review suggests that, in laboratory animals, the systemic administration of dopamine augmenters preferentially increases susceptibility to premature respondin...
