"We've found that the density of these dopamine autoreceptors is inversely related to an individual's interest in and desire for novel experiences. ...The fewer available dopamine autoreceptors an individual has, the less they are able to regulate how much dopamine is released when these cells are engaged. Because of this, novelty and other potentially rewarding experiences that normally induce dopamine release will produce greater dopamine release in these individuals."(Source: sciencedaily.com)
