The Impact of Reward-induced Dopamine Release on Functional Connectivity: a Combined PET/fMRI Study
Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada
Aim 1. To test the relationship between reward-induced dopamine (DA) release on changes in resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) in healthy subjects. In 20 healthy adults, the investigators will examine DA release (measured using positron emission tomography, PET) in the ventral striatum, thalamus, and prefrontal cortex, as previously described. Before and after the task the investigators will examine RSFC (measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI) between these structures, which have been shown to form functional pathways serving motivation and emotion regulation in rodents and nonhuman primates. The investigators hypothesize that DA release will impact the functional relationship between these and other structures as determined by changes in RSFC.
Aim 2. To examine the relationship between dopamine release and the Reward Positivity (RewP) potential. Subjects will be presented with the option to participate in an event-related potential (ERP) study. The investigators will correlate the amount of DA release with the amplitude of the RewP potential, an ERP that is enhanced in reward versus non-reward circumstances. Based on previous studies, the investigators hypothesize that RewP amplitude will positively correlate with dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens.
