Neuroreceptor Mapping in 2024
Neuroreceptor mapping provides insights into neurotransmitter changes and receptor dynamics that improve the understanding of brain functions. This Viewpoint highlights the advancements in the development of novel radiotracers (imaging tools) and quantification of receptor dynamics based on presentations from the <i>XIV International Symposium on Functional Neuroreceptor Mapping (NRM) of the Living Brain</i>, 2024. The Viewpoint also emphasizes the applications of neuroreceptor mapping in clinical research and the latest technologies for imaging the brain with positron emission tomography (PET). The goal of the Viewpoint is to highlight an important community of researchers within the field of chemical neuroscience.
