Sex differences in sensitivity to dopamine receptor manipulations of risk-based decision making

Jan 15 2025 9 mins  
The scientific literature has shown that females demonstrate more aversion to risk-taking than males. Studies have also demonstrated that the basal lateral amygdala, or BLA, is a critical hub for processing risk and reward information. And yet further research has shown that activity in the amygdala differs between males and females, and that the expression of particular dopamine r
