Abstract

The amphetamine challenge, in which positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography radioligand binding following administration of amphetamine is compared to baseline values, has been successfully used in a number of brain imaging studies as an indicator of dopaminergic function, particularly in the striatum. [18 F] fallypride is the first PET radioligand that allows measurement of the effects of amphetamine on D2/D3 ligand binding in striatum and extra‐striatal brain regions in a single scanning session following amphetamine. We scanned 15 healthy volunteer subjects with [18 F] fallypride at baseline and following amphetamine (0.3 mg/kg) using arterial plasma input‐based modeling as well as reference region methods. We found that amphetamine effect was robustly detected in ventral striatum, globus pallidus, and posterior putamen, and with slightly higher variability in other striatal subregions. However, the observed effect sizes in striatum were less than those observed in previous studies in our laboratory using [11 C] raclopride. Robust effect was also detected in limbic extra‐striatal regions (hippocampus, amygdala) and substantia nigra, but the signal‐to‐noise ratio was too low to allow accurate measurement in cortical regions. We conclude that [18 F] fallypride is a suitable ligand for measuring amphetamine effect in striatum and limbic regions, but it is not suitable for measuring the effect in cortical regions and may not provide the most powerful way to measure the effect in striatum.

  • 18F-fallypride has a higher affinity than 11C-raclopride and is thus better suited for simultaneous measurement of D2/D3 receptor availability in striatal regions and the midbrain.

    “we used PET imaging of 18F-fallypride, which has a higher affinity than 11C-raclopride (the radioligand of choice in all previous dopamine receptor imaging studies in ADHD) and is thus better suited for simultaneous measurement of D2/D3 receptor availability in striatal regions and the midbrain (Riccardi et al., 2006a, b; Cropley et al., 2008; Slifstein et al., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
