ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute dopamine agonistic and antagonistic manipulation on the visual-cue induced blood oxygen level-dependent signal response in healthy volunteers. Seventeen healthy volunteers in a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over design received either a dopamine antagonist, agonist or placebo and underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging. Using classical inference and Bayesian statistics, we found no effect of dopaminergic modulation on properties of visual-cue induced blood oxygen level-dependent signals in the visual cortex, particularly on distinct properties of the haemodynamic response function (amplitude, time-to-peak and width). Dopamine-related effects modulating the neurovascular coupling in the visual cortex might be negligible when measured via functional magnetic resonance imaging.
