Compared to people at low risk for alcohol-use problems, those at high risk showed a greater dopamine response in a brain pathway that increases desire for rewards. These findings, published in the journal <em>Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research</em>, could help shed light on why some people are more at risk of suffering from alcoholism and could mark an important step toward the development of treatment options.
