Correlation of striatal dopamine D2/3 receptor availability with GABA level in the anterior cingulate cortex in healthy controls but not in alcohol‐dependent subjects and individuals at high risk: A multimodal magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positron emission tomography study

Addiction Biology, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2024.
This is the first study combining 18F‐fallypride PET and MRS in AUD. We were able to show a negative correlation of GABA levels in the ACC with dopamine D2/3 receptor availability in the associative striatum in healthy controls. However, this association was not present in individuals at high‐risk and recently detoxified AD patients, which may reflect ...
