Relationship between prefrontal cognitive functions and dopaminergic transmission: A [18F]-fluoro- l-DOPA PET study

Introduction: Several dopaminergic pathways have been linked to functions as extrapyramidal motor control, motivation, and cognition. [...]among other functions, dopaminergic transmission influences cognitive processes like sustained attention, working memory, conflict control, and decision-making....

Zusammenfassung:Introduction: Several dopaminergic pathways have been linked to functions as extrapyramidal motor control, motivation, and cognition. [...]among other functions, dopaminergic transmission influences cognitive processes like sustained attention, working memory, conflict control, and decision-making. Results: At baseline, we found significant positive correlations between the magnitude of Kinapp in caudate nucleus, putamen, and midbrain with performance of the TMT-B, CPT-M, and the Stroop Test.
