An approach for identifying brainstem dopaminergic pathways using resting state functional MRI. [PDF]
, 2014 Here, we present an approach for identifying brainstem dopaminergic pathways using resting state functional MRI. In a group of healthy individuals, we searched for significant functional connectivity between dopamine-rich midbrain areas (substantia nigra;
