Timeframe: 1 hour post Xyrem

\[C-11\] raclopride is a radioligand that binds to the D2/3 dopamine receptor in the dopamine-rich striatum and which is sensitive to dopamine occupancy. % change was calculated as follows: (1 hour BPND - baseline BPND)/baseline BPND \*100; Mean % change represents the mean of each participant's individual % change within the group.
