Positron emission tomography was used to examine the in vivo binding of [ 11 C]raclopride to D 2 -dopamine (DA) receptors in the striatum of two Cynomolgus monkeys after a single dose of reserpine (1 mg/kg, i.v.). A Scatchard procedure was repeated five times to follow D 2 receptor density and appar

The effects of acute and repeated systemic administration of the dopaminergic D2 antagonist raclopride on responses of ventral striatal neurons were examined in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats. Stimulating electrodes were placed in the entorhinal and perirhinal cortices, medial thalamus, and preli
We have previously shown that tracer concentrations of [llC]cocaine binding to the dopamine transporter (DAT) in human and baboon striatum can be visualized using positron emission tomography (PET). To determine whether the concentration of dopamine normally present in the synaptic cleft can compete
