    Time-varying SUVr reflects the dynamics of dopamine increases during methylphenidate challenges in humans

    Dopamine facilitates cognition and is implicated in reward processing. Methylphenidate, a dopamine transporter blocker widely used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, can have rewarding and addi...

    Striatal D1 and D2 receptor availability are selectively associated with eye-blink rates after methylphenidate treatment

    Eye-blink rate has been proposed as a biomarker of the brain dopamine system, however, findings have not been consistent. This study assessed the relationship between blink rates, measured after oral placebo) ...

    Cortical D1 and D2 dopamine receptor availability modulate methylphenidate-induced changes in brain activity and functional connectivity

    Dopamine signaling plays a critical role in sha** brain functional network organization and behavior. Prominent theories suggest the relative expression of D1- to D2-like dopamine receptors shapes excitatory...
