Project Aims• Become familiar with
the basics of PET radioligand methods– Compartmental
models– Logan graphical
method (arterial input function)
– Logan graphical method (cerebellum reference tissue)
• Become familiar with two types of dopamine radioligands– Raclopride– CFT– How do these differ?
Understand utility of PET radiotracer methods for the study of behaviour
PET Methodology• Compartmental models
– Model parameters determined by iterative non-linear least-squares fitting, used to obtain receptor binding measures, use arterial blood as model input
• Outcome measures:– Distribution volume (VT) the ratio of the concentration of radioligand in a region of tissue to
that in plasma (at equilibrium)– Distribution volume ratio (DVR) is related to receptor density x affinity, and equal to VT / VND
– Binding potential (BP) proportional to receptor density x affinity
1T
2T
VT = free + nonspecific + specific
VND = free + nonspecific(non-displaceable reference uptake)
PET Methodology• Logan Graphical Methods
– Linear alternative, use arterial blood as input (VT), possible to use reference-tissue (DVR)
– Transforms multiple time measurements of plasma and tissue uptake into a linear plot, the slope related to receptor binding measures
– Appropriate for radiotracers for which a constant relationship between blood and brain tissue radioactivity is established during the study (steady-state)
– Advantages• Simpler calculations (non-iterative)• Not reliant upon definition of underlying compartments
Radiotracers for Dopamine• [C-11]Raclopride
– D2/3 receptors– Benzamide that shows selective and moderate affinity
for D2 receptors and binds reversibly to postsynaptic D2 receptors
• [C-11]CFT 2-carbomethoxy-3-(4-[18F]-fluorophenyl)tropane – Dopamine transporter– Cocaine analogue that shows good selectivity for the
dopamine transporter over other transporters and shows little non-specific binding in the brain
– Dopamine transporter is present exclusively in dopamine-synthesising neurons, thus is an index of presynaptic dopaminergic function.
– (Almost) irreversible binding
Project
• N=4
• Assess compartmental modeling and graphical methods for [C-11]raclopride & [C-11]CFT
• Estimate binding potential: BP (VT/VND) – 1– Cerebellum used as reference tissue to estimate VND
• Free of dopamine receptors, good estimate of non-displaceable (i.e., free + non-specific) uptake
– Which method(s) are acceptable?• 1 tissue compartment model
• 2 tissue compartment model
• Logan (arterial)
• Logan (reference tissue)
Project
•Dorsal caudate (DCA)•Anteroventral striatum (AVS)
•accumbens, ventromedial caudate + anteroventral putamen
•Middle caudate (MCA)•Dorsal putamen (DPU)•Ventral putamen (VPU)

Interim Summary• [C-11]Raclopride 2Tcomp better fit• [C-11]CFT 1Tcomp better fit • Conclusions consistent with known properties of the
radiotracers:– [C-11]Raclopride shows reversible binding during the PET study.
Thus k3 and k4 can be determined– [C-11]CFT shows irreversible binding in receptor-rich regions
during the PET study. Thus k4 cannot be accurately determined

Utility of PET radioligand methods for the study of
behaviour• Sequential motor learning
– [C-11]Raclopride BP in dorsal striatum decreases during finger sequence learning task
– Both implicit & implicit learning of complex motor sequences increase [C-11]raclopride displacement in the caudate & putamen
• Reward-related processes– Decreased striatal [C-11]raclopride BP during an active but not
passive reward task
• Cognition– Decreases in [C-11]raclopride BP when planning a set shift, during
spatial planning and spatial working memory
Variability in BP outcomes are related to behaviour
Utility of PET radioligand methods for the study of behaviour
• Variability in BP outcomes are related to behaviour
• Variability in BP outcomesare related to EEG synchrony

BP = K3/k4
BP=VTROI/VTCER-1 = K1/k2(1+k3/k4)-1
Interim Summary
• Logan– Susceptible to bias– Bias is worse in CFT
because of slower reference tissue clearance relative to plasma
– Bias not so bad in RAC because of similar clearance in reference tissue relative to plasma
