Change in Brain Metabolism and Cognitive Function by Aripiprazole

March 23, 2012 updated by: Jun Soo Kwon, Seoul National University Hospital

The Relationship Between D2 Occupancy and Change in Frontal Metabolism and Working Memory Induced by Aripiprazole

Dopamine receptor occupancy and brain metabolism were measured using positron emission tomography after the administration of aripiprazole. Working memory performance was also measured using N-back task.

The investigators explored the relationship between changes in brain metabolism and working memory performance.
