Abstract in brief

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.
