Dopamine transporters in striatum correlate with deactivation in the default mode network during visuospatial attention.

Dopamine transporters in striatum correlate with deactivation in the default mode network during visuospatial attention.

BACKGROUND:Dopamine and dopamine transporters (DAT, which regulate extracellular dopamine in the brain) are implicated in the modulation of attention but their specific roles are not well understood. Here we hypothesized that dopamine modulates attention by facilitation of brain deactivation in the...
