摘要: Rationale Regulation of dopamine release and synthesis occurs via pre-synaptic (DA) D2/D3 autoreceptors (DARs). Mapping DAR function in vivo is difficult usually best assessed using invasive measures DA release, such as microdialysis at discrete sites. We wished to show that pharmacological magnetic resonance imaging (phMRI) may prove useful for this purpose.
