Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine how the dopamine and opioid system is involved in
reward processing, specifically in cue-induced reward responding and reward impulsivity,
using dopamine and opioid receptor antagonists in healthy participants. The investigators
predict that particularly the dopamine challenge should alter cue-induced reward responding
and reward impulsivity. Such effects would be of high interest for the treatment of disorders
which involve impairments of reward processing such as addiction.
