## Abstract We used [^11^C]raclopride (RACLO) and positron emission tomography (PET) to study longitudinally striatal dopamine D~2~ receptor binding in nine patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) at an early drug‐naive stage and 3–5 years later, when motor fluctuations had appeared in seven of them
