μ-opioid receptor system mediates reward processing in humans

μ-opioid receptor system mediates reward processing in humans

μ-opioid signalling has a known role in the response to various rewarding stimuli, including pleasant foods. Here, Nummenmaa et al. show using PET and fMRI that individual differences in brain μ-opioid receptor density predict the strength of the neural response to highly palatable foods in humans
