Abstract

Reports on a study which examined the effectiveness of pharmacological magnetic resonance imaging in mapping dopamine (DA) autoreceptors. Limitations with the tools available for determining DA autoreceptor (DAR) location or function; Effects of D2 antagonism; Association between amphetamine-induced increase in relative cerebral blood volume in the accumbens in animals pre-treated with eticlopride and a similar percentage increase in DA release.
