A graphical method of analysis applicable to ligands that bind reversibly to receptors or enzymes requiring the simultaneous measurement of plasma and tissue radioactivities for multiple times after… Expand
Dopamine transporter occupancies in the human brain induced by therapeutic doses of oral methylphenidate.
OBJECTIVE
The therapeutic effects of methylphenidate in the treatment of attention deficit disorder have been attributed to its ability to increase the synaptic concentration of dopamine by blocking… Expand
Loss of Dopamine Transporters in Methamphetamine Abusers Recovers with Protracted Abstinence
- N. Volkow, L. Chang, +8 authors J. Logan
- Psychology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 1 December 2001
Methamphetamine is a popular drug of abuse that is neurotoxic to dopamine (DA) terminals when administered to laboratory animals. Studies in methamphetamine abusers have also documented significant… Expand
Association of dopamine transporter reduction with psychomotor impairment in methamphetamine abusers.
- N. Volkow, L. Chang, +10 authors E. Miller
- Psychology, Medicine

- 1 March 2001
OBJECTIVE
Methamphetamine is a popular and highly addictive drug of abuse that has raised concerns because it has been shown in laboratory animals to be neurotoxic to dopamine terminals. The authors… Expand

The therapeutic and stimulant properties of methylphenidate (MP), a drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, have been attributed to increases in… Expand
Relationship between subjective effects of cocaine and dopamine transporter occupancy
- N. Volkow, G. Wang, +9 authors C. E. Shea
- Medicine
- Nature
- 24 April 1997
Cocaine is believed to work by blocking the dopamine transporter (DAT) and thereby increasing the availability of free dopamine within the brain1–4. Although this concept is central to current… Expand
Decreased striatal dopaminergic responsiveness in detoxified cocaine-dependent subjects
Cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in the control of movement, cognition, motivation and reward. This leads to an increase in extracellular dopamine; the reinforcing… Expand
123I-labeled AM251: a radioiodinated ligand which binds in vivo to mouse brain cannabinoid CB1 receptors.

- Biology, Medicine
- European journal of pharmacology
- 4 July 1996
We have investigated the binding of 123I-labeled N-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methy l-1 H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (AM251), an analog of the cannabinoid receptor… Expand
