Abstract Synopsis

  • PET neuroimaging is a valuable technique for measuring brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) to understand and diagnose mental health conditions, track disease progress, and evaluate treatments.
  • The paper discusses various methods used to detect real-time changes in neurotransmitter levels in humans, caused by drugs or behaviors.
  • It also explores emerging hybrid imaging techniques combining PET with MRI to improve research on how neurotransmission works in the living brain.
