Reproducible human reward imaging phenotypes exhibit differential sensitivity to dopamine D2 receptor antagonism

Published on: Sep 03, 2026 11:39

Human reward processing varies along cue-centric and outcome-centric axes, but the mechanistic basis of individual variation in incentive salience attribution remains incompletely characterized. Here we show, using fMRI across five cohorts (N-total = 1251; N1 = 890; N2 = 245; N3 = 34; N4 = 48; N5 = 34), two reproducible imaging phenotypes mirroring sign- and goal-tracking (ST-like, GT-like). ST-like individuals showed dominant ventral striatal responses to reward-anticipation cues and sustained incentive salience attribution; GT-like individuals showed heightened responses to reward outcomes. This distinction was replicable across sites and independent samples. Single-dose and repeated-dose D2/D3 antagonism (risperidone, haloperidol, amisulpride) selectively reduced anticipatory ventral striatal activity in ST, with single-dose antagonism additionally producing a parallel drop in self-reported energy. Instead, D2/D3 partial agonism (aripiprazole) increased anticipatory and reduced outcome-phase responses in GT. In a psychosis cohort, antipsychotic D2 affinity was associated with blunted anticipatory signals and higher negative symptom burden, offering a neuroimaging-driven basis for stratifying patients and predicting response to dopaminergic agents. Brain imaging across more than 1,200 people identifies two reproducible reward profiles, one tuned to cues and one to outcomes. The two profiles respond in opposite ways to dopamine-blocking drugs, and the difference tracks negative symptoms in psychosis.
