Baron, J. C / Comar, D. / Mazoyer, B. M. / Martinot, J. L. / Farde, L.
Imaging of the Dopaminergic system in the human brain with the in vivo use of Positron Emis sion Tomography has emerged in the late 1980s as a tool of major importance in Clinical Neuros ciences and Pharmacology. The last few years have witnessed the rapid development of new radiotracers specific to receptors, reuptake sites and enzymes of the dopamine system, the application of these radiotracers has led to major breakthroughs in the pathop...
