Brain maps obtained with SPM showing the difference in the distribution volume of [11C]raclopride between the neutral and the cocaine-cue conditions (p < 0.05, uncorrected, threshold >100 voxels). Note that there were no differences in the ventral striatum (−8 canthomeatal plane).

A, Dopamine D2 receptor availability (Bmax/Kd) in caudate, putamen, and ventral striatum for the neutral and the cocaine-cue conditions. B, Craving measures (assessed with the CCQ) before (pre) and after (post) presentation of the neutral and the cocaine videos. C, Regression slopes for the correlation between changes in DA (percentage changes in Bmax/Kd from the neutral condition) and changes in cocaine craving (pre and post differences in CCQ scores). Values represent means ± SDs. Comparisons correspond to paired t tests (two-tailed) *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.

DV measures in putamen were significantly lower (p < 0.05) during the cocaine-cue condition and showed a trend in caudate (p < 0.06). None of the other measures differed. Values represent means ± SDs.
