Journal ArticleDOI
Intelligence and changes in regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate following learning
TL;DR: In this paper, a new study in eight normal men reports widespread significant GMR decreases following learning a complex task (the computer game "Tetris") and ascertain the correlations between GMR changes following learning Tetris and psychometric intelligence scores (RAPM and WAIS-R).
Journal ArticleDOI
PET and MRI of the Thalamus in Never-Medicated Patients With Schizophrenia
Monte S. Buchsbaum,Toshiyuki Someya,Chuck Ying Teng,Lennart Abel,Samuel Chin,A. Najafi,Richard J. Haier,Joseph C. Wu,William E. Bunney +8 more
TL;DR: The reduced thalamic activity observed in this study lends further support to the concept of deficits in sensory filtering in schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Striatal metabolic rate and clinical response to neuroleptics in schizophrenia
Monte S. Buchsbaum,Steven G. Potkin,Benjamin V. Siegel,James B. Lohr,Mark Katz,Louis A. Gottschalk,Bala Gulasekaram,John F. Marshall,S. Lottenberg,Chuck Ying Teng,Lennart Abel,L. Plon,William E. Bunney +12 more
TL;DR: A low metabolic rate in the caudate nucleus and putamen in schizophrenic patients while they were not receiving medication was found to predict a favorable clinical response to haloperidol, and this is the first such trial with positron emission tomography to be reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose metabolic correlates of continuous performance test performance in adults with a history of infantile autism, schizophrenics, and controls
TL;DR: Autistic patients showed negative correlations of medial frontal cortical GMR with attentional performance, suggesting that neuronal inefficiency in that region may contribute to poor performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional cerebral glucose metabolism and attention in adults with a history of childhood autism.
Benjamin V. Siegel,Robert F. Asarnow,Peter E. Tanguay,Justin D. Call,Lennart Abel,Andrew P. Ho,Ira T. Lott,Monte S. Buchsbaum +7 more
TL;DR: High-functioning adults with a history of childhood autism and normal control subjects underwent [18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron-emission tomography to assess regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate (GMR), finding autistic patients had a left > right anterior rectal gyrus asymmetry.
