White matter changes in schizophrenia: evidence for myelin-related dysfunction.

TL;DR: Support for the hypothesis that oligodendroglial dysfunction and even death, with subsequent abnormalities in myelin maintenance and repair, contribute to the schizophrenic syndrome is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical glucose metabolic rate correlates of abstract reasoning and attention studied with positron emission tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, three groups of young healthy males underwent positron emission tomography of the head, using 18fluoro-2-deoxyglucose as the uptake tracer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral glucography with positron tomography. Use in normal subjects and in patients with schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Local cerebral uptake of deoxyglucose labeled with fluorine 18 was measured by positron-emission tomography in eight patients with schizophrenia and in six age-matched normal volunteers, indicating relatively lower glucose use than normal control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced Prefrontal and Increased Subcortical Brain Functioning Assessed Using Positron Emission Tomography in Predatory and Affective Murderers

TL;DR: Results support the hypothesis that emotional, unplanned impulsive murderers are less able to regulate and control aggressive impulses generated from subcortical structures due to deficient prefrontal regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional glucose metabolic changes after learning a complex visuospatial/motor task: a positron emission tomographic study.

TL;DR: Regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate (GMR) quantified with positron emission tomography with 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) was measured twice in 8 young men performing a complex visuospatial/motor task, before and after practice, to suggest that learning may result in decreased use of extraneous or inefficient brain areas.
