  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates how PET imaging can detect dopamine release in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that helps transmit signals between nerve cells. The study looks at how dopamine release changes when people consume alcohol or caffeine.

Participants will undergo MRI and PET scans to monitor brain activity. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which creates detailed images of the organs and tissues. PET stands for Positron Emission Tomography, which shows how tissues and organs are functioning.

  • Who can participate: Adults who drink alcohol regularly or occasionally are eligible to participate.
  • Study details: Participants will have MRI and PET scans of their brain. A PET scan involves a small amount of radioactive material to show activity in the body.
