Background​

Previous PET imaging studies in non-human primates have shown that striatal dopamine type 2/3 (D2/3) receptors correlate with social hierarchy in monkeys, and that dominant animals exhibit higher levels of D2/3 receptor binding. The goal of the present study was to examine this phenomena in human subjects using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and the radiotracer [11C]raclopride.

Methods​

Fourteen healthy volunteers were scanned with [11C]raclopride to measure D2/3 receptor binding potential. Social status was assessed using the Barratt Simplified Measure of Social Status. In addition, participants were asked to assess their level of social support using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).

Results​

A correlation was seen between social status and dopamine D2/3 receptors, where volunteers with the higher status had higher values for [11C]raclopride BP. A similar correlation was seen with the perceived social support, where higher [11C]raclopride BP correlated with higher scores on the MSPSS.

Conclusions​

The results of this study support the hypothesis that social status and social support is correlated with D2/3 receptor binding.

You can fix your dopamine receptors. Of course this is even harder for autists because autism by itself characterizes itself by lower D2 binding:

This also correlates on why people with autism are more likely to be bullied. Social status correlates with d2/3 receptor binding, and autists have lower d2/3 binding.

Yeah, autism is a curse. I have such passionate interest in so few things, and don’t give a shit about normie things. Plus I never can seem to make friends really. Only friend I have is a truecel with a mental disability. Can’t form meaningful connections with guys even in the same car related hobbies as me

My whole brain feels fried sometimes. My sleep is brutal too
