title = "Neurotransmitter function",
abstract = "Neurotransmitters are an integral part of brain function, and our ability to accurately measure their activity is paramount for a complete understanding of healthy and pathological brain states. This article will focus on the available methods to assess human neurotransmitter architecture and activity in vivo and the relevance of these methods to laboratory and clinical settings. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a key method for directly measuring neurotransmitter release and receptor distribution, but can be complimented with techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and functional MR methods to help build comprehensive models of neurotransmitter function.",
