Striatal Dopamine D2 Receptor Binding During Working Memory Training

Aggregating neuroimaging data from a study assessing raclopride binding to striatal dopamine D2 receptors during a letter-updating task and a control condition. The data was collected before and after 5 weeks of updating training, with findings showing training increased striatal dopamine release during the task. The dataset was authored by Lars Bäckman and published in 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze changes in raclopride binding measurements before and after the 5-week updating training period.
• Model the relationship between striatal dopamine D2 receptor activity and performance on the letter-updating task.
• Compare neural activity patterns between the letter-updating task and the control condition.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a published study on working memory and dopaminergic neurotransmission.
• The study design includes pre- and post-training measurements over a 5-week period.
• Dataset is published under the permissive CC0 1.0 license.

Limitations

• The specific data structure, row count, and column features are unknown.
• Sample size and demographic details of the study participants are not provided.
