Molecular imaging of dopamine synthesis and release

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to measure striatal dopamine synthesis and release, both of which have been shown to be elevated in schizophrenia. One study has demonstrated that first degree relatives of schizophrenia patients exhibit increased dopamine synthesis capacity, suggesting this could be an endophenotype or susceptibility marker. However, the specific relation to schizophrenia was not tes...
