Normal Physiology
Dopaminergic Modulation of Brain Activation Using Simultaneous PET/Pharmacological MRI
Background: Dopamine (DA) is a chemical signal in the brain linked to learning, memory, and habits. Stimulant drugs like methylphenidate can increase DA in the brain. Researchers want to measure DA with and without this drug.

- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 25 people, healthy volunteers welcome
