%X Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is uniquely suited to measuring neurotransmitter signaling in the human brain. PET tracers for neurotransmitter studies are ligands of the receptor or enzyme of interest labelled with positron emitting isotopes, usually 11C of 18F. By far the most frequent target of PET neurotransmitter imaging is dopamine, and the most commonly used tracer is [11C]raclopride, an antagonist of the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R), first developed by researchers at the Karolinska Institute (Farde et al., 1986).
