Neuroreceptor imaging using single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) is crucial for understanding brain function. This review covers key neurotransmitters, radioligands, and imaging methodologies, discussing current findings.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Radiochemistry
  • Medical Imaging

Context:

  • Growing significance of in vivo neuroreceptor imaging.
  • Focus on key neurotransmitter systems: dopamine, GABA/benzodiazepine, acetylcholine, and serotonin.
  • Integration of anatomical, biochemical, and physiological perspectives.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of neuroreceptor imaging techniques.
  • To introduce principal neurotransmitters and their relevance.
  • To discuss radioligands and methodological aspects of SPECT and PET.

Summary:

  • Details the anatomical, biochemical, and physiological features of major neurotransmitter systems.
  • Introduces key radioligands used in SPECT and PET for neuroreceptor studies.
