No association between cortical dopamine D2 receptor availability and cognition in antipsychotic-naive first-episode psychosis

Abstract Cognitive impairment is an important predictor of disability in schizophrenia. Dopamine neurotransmission in cortical brain regions has been suggested to be of importance for higher-order cognitive processes. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between extrastriatal dopami...
