Summary

The specific aim of this study is to document the pharmacokinetics of dopamine transporter DAT receptor occupancy of OROS MPH and Metadate CD using PET scanning with C-11 Altropane as the ligand. We hypothesize that CNS DAT occupancy of OROS MPH will be greater than that of Metadate CD at 10 hours after administration.
