Imaging of healthy volunteers
All study participants undergo functional imaging of the serotoninergic system with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using [11 Carbon]-3-amino-4-(2-dimethylaminomethylphenylsulfanyl)-benzonitrile ([11C]-DASB) and [18 Fluorine]-altanserin ([18F]-altanserin). [11C] -DASB is a highly specific PET radiotracer which binds to the serotonin transporter (SERT). [18F]-altanserin is a highly specific PET radiotracer which specifically binds to the serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (5-HT2A) receptor.
