Journal ArticleDOI

PET brain mapping study of auditory verbal supraspan memory versus visual fixation in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The results suggest that remitted patients with schizophrenia demonstrate impairments of capacity-limited information processing, which may be related to metabolic dysfunction within a distributed network of brain structures, including the prefrontal and temporal cortical regions; however, dysfunction limited to the frontal cortex cannot be ruled out by the results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitively unimpaired HIV-positive subjects do not have increased 11C-PiB: a case-control study.

TL;DR: Cognitively unimpaired HIV+ participants, even with low CSF Αβ42, do not have 11C-PiB parameters suggesting brain fibrillar amyloid deposition, and the dissimilarity between unimpaires HIV+ and preclinical AD may reflect differences in Aβ42 production and/or formation of diffuse plaques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alzheimer disease identification using amyloid imaging and reserve variables Proof of concept

TL;DR: Whether factors thought to influence the association of AD pathology and dementia help to accurately identify dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) when considered together with amyloid imaging is tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional neuroanatomy of verbal free recall: A replication study.

TL;DR: These data, obtained using a within‐subject design, extend previously reported findings that used mixed within‐and between‐subject designs and demonstrate important functional components of normal auditoryverbal short‐term memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

A method for the assessment of the functional neuroanatomy of human sleep using FDG PET

TL;DR: This report describes one method of assessing human forebrain activation during sleep using the [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose method and positron emission tomography (PET) measures of regional cerebral glucose utilization and offers the advantage of a more naturalistic study of sleep since subjects do not have to sleep in a scanning device.
