Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether short term treatment with a antihypertensive
medication prazosin, can influence the levels of a dopamine in the brain. We will examine the
levels of dopamine in the the brain using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI). We hypothesize that there will be no significant changes in dopamine
levels in healthy individuals taking prazosin.
