[18F]MK-9470, a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for in vivo human PET brain imaging of the cannabinoid-1 receptor

TL;DR: Autoradiographic studies in rhesus monkey brain showed that [18F]MK-9470 binding is aligned with the reported distribution of CB1 receptors with high specific binding in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, caudate/putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and hippocampus, and PET imaging studies in human research subject demonstrated behavior very similar to that seen in monkeys.
Journal Article

Expression and pharmacological characterization of the human D3 dopamine receptor.

TL;DR: The finding that a wide range of structurally diverse human dopamine D2 (hD2) receptor agonists have an apparent hD3 selectivity may imply that the hD 3 receptor exists predominantly in a high affinity state.
