GLP-1 is assumed to influence brain regions linked to reward and addiction, reducing activity in the ventral striatum and septal area. It also decreases the activity of the dopamine transporter, which leads to prolonged dopamine presence in the synapse. This causes a presumed effect in reward-related behavior.65,66 Abbreviation: GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide 1.
