Radioligand binding studies in animals have demonstrated age-related loss of dopamine receptors in the caudate and putamen. In humans, while age-related declines in dopamine D2 receptors have been consistently reported, the effects of ageing on D1 receptors have been controversial. We used positron
11 C]raclopride binding to D2 dopamine receptors in the striatum is sensitive to drug-induced changes of endogenous dopamine concentration. We recently developed the new radioligand [ 11 C]FLB 457, which is suitable for positron emission tomography (PET) studies of extrastriatal D2 dopamine recepto
