One of the proposed explanations is the hypothesis of preferential extrastriatal dopamine D2 receptor occupancy (limbic selectivity) by antipsychotics. In the present study, we focused on aripiprazole, which has a unique pharmacological profile with partial agonismat dopamineD2 receptors and the minimal risk of extrapyramidal side effects. Previous positron emission tomography (PET) studies using high-affinity radioligands for dopamine D2 receptors have reported inconsistent results regarding regional differences of dopamine D2 receptor occupancy by aripiprazole.}, pages = {165--172}, title = {Striatal and extrastriatal dopamine D2 receptor occupancy by the partial agonist antipsychotic drug aripiprazole in the human brain: a positron emission tomography study with [11C]raclopride and [11C]FLB457}, volume = {222}, year = {2012} }
