Valenced action/inhibition learning in humans is modulated by a genetic variant linked to dopamine D2 receptor expression

Motivational salience plays an important role in shaping human behavior, but recent studies demonstrate that human performance is not uniformly improved by motivation. Instead, action has been shown to dominate valence in motivated tasks, and it is particularly difficult for humans to learn the inhi...
