A causal role for estradiol in human reinforcement learning

2020-02-20

Abstract excerpt

The sex hormone estrogen is hypothesized to play a key role in human cognition via its interactions with the dopaminergic system. Work in rodents has shown that estrogen’s most potent form, estradiol, impacts striatal dopamine functioning predominately via increased D1-receptor signalling, while human work has suggested that high estradiol levels are associated with altered reward sensitivity. Here, we addressed t...
