🔥Happy to share our latest work just published in Science Advances! Our team explored the dopaminergic system and its role in brain function by combining fMRI with [18F]FDG-fPET and optogenetic stimulations. https://t.co/XR9rkODBcN

In @DeeryHamish's latest #PETMR study from our lab, we found a larger effect of insulin resistance on CMRGLC in younger than older adults. Highlights the importance of maintaining insulin sensitivity even in young age. @Mon_Bio_Imaging @MonashPsych
