N2 - Nowadays, there is an increasing body of research linking the novelty seeking dimension with the brain reward system: the mesocortical dopaminergic system. The objective of this review is to analyze the relationships between novelty seeking, risk, and reward, and their links with externalization behaviours (antisocial, risk, and drug abuse behaviours). The integration of these theories, along with the results of the research reviewed, suggests that the maturing of the rewarding dopaminergic system in the adolescence may underline temperamental traits such as impulsivity and novelty seeking.
