Variations in the human cannabinoid receptor (CNR1) gene modulate striatal responses to happy faces.

The European journal of neuroscience - 1 Apr 2006

Chakrabarti Bhismadev, Kent Lindsey, Suckling John, Bullmore Edward, Baron-Cohen Simon

Abstract excerpt

Happy facial expressions are innate social rewards and evoke a response in the striatum, a region known for its role in reward processing in rats, primates and humans. The cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) is the best-characterized molecule of the endocannabinoid system, involved in processing reward...
