Synopsis

To explore the alternations in spontaneous brain activities in normal subjects after dobutamine infusion, the regional homogeneity (ReHo) method was used to analyze the interregional synchronized activity of all participants. The results showed that compared with normal resting state, significantly decreased ReHo was found after dobutamine infusion in bilateral frontal lobe, while increased in left temporal lobe and right parietal lobe, suggesting that dobutamine may have an effect on functional brain activity.
