About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research Topic is to collect findings from recent dopamine neuroimaging studies focusing on the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, as well as pharmacological/non-pharmacological treatment, in particular, intervention by psychotropic agents and neuromodulation such as electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
We welcome original research articles, reviews, meta-analysis and perspective papers investigating:
• Novel dopamine neuroimaging techniques in patients with psychiatric disorders.
• Reproducibility of novel dopamine neuroimaging techniques in healthy individuals
• Changes in measurements of dopaminergic neurotransmission with conventional dopamine neuroimaging modalities by pharmacological/non-pharmacological intervention.
• Pharmacological fMRI studies on dopamine neurotransmission.
• Neuromelanin MRI and diffusion tensor imaging studies on dopaminergic neurotransmission system.
• Specific versus transdiagnostic changes of dopaminergic neurotransmission
• Multimodal imaging of dopaminergic neurotransmission
