Research Abstract |
We assessed the distribution of dopamine receptors in the marmoset brain with a PET using radioactive ligand. We observed high binding potential of dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in the striatum. We also evaluated the biding potential in the cerebral cortex, and confirmed variations across cerebral areas. This study established the method for quantitative evaluation of dopamine in the marmoset brain, and provided the data to construct a database.
