Decreased vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 availability in the striatum following chronic cocaine self-administration in nonhuman primates.

Biological psychiatry | 2015

Consistent with postmortem data, in a recent positron emission tomography study, we demonstrated less [(11)C]-(+)-dihydrotetrabenazine ([(11)C]DTBZ) binding to striatal vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) in cocaine abusers compared with control subjects. A major limitation of these between-group comparison human studies is their inability to establish a causal relationship between cocaine abuse and lower VMAT2. Furthermore, studies in rodents that evaluated VMAT2 binding before and after cocaine self-administration do not support a reduction in VMAT2.
