The pharmacological response of a drug is currently defined through in vitro studies and characterized by parameters such as in vitro efficacy and affinity. We propose an in vivo classification of drug function by PET/fMRI and demonstrate a coupling model that can predict the functional response measured by fMRI. Experimental results at the D2/D3 dopamine system show that we can classify agonists and antagonists according to their fMRI response, suggesting that we can characterize drug function and efficacy to inform about the in vivo potency of a drug.
