Journal ArticleDOI
Age associated decrements in dopamine D2 receptors in thalamus and in temporal insula of human subjects.
Gene-Jack Wang,Nora D. Volkow,Nora D. Volkow,Joanna S. Fowler,Jean Logan,Ruben C. Gur,Noelwah Netusil,Robert Hitzemann,Naomi Pappas +8 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that D2 losses with age are not limited to striatum and involve also thalamic as well as temporal cortical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal brain activation to visual stimulation in cocaine abusers.
Jing-Huei Lee,Frank Telang,Charles S. Springer,Charles S. Springer,Nora D. Volkow,Nora D. Volkow +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used fMRI to compare the BOLD response to photic visual stimulation in neurologically intact active cocaine abusers to that in non-drug-using healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opportunities for Research on the Treatment of Substance Use Disorders in the Context of COVID-19.
TL;DR: Shifts in treatment and research on psychiatric disorders including substance use disorders provide an opportunity to evaluate which changes should remain after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which should be reserved for crises, and which ones are deleterious.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Positron Emission Tomography Studies of 6-[18F]Fluorodopamine in Living Baboon Heart: Selective Imaging and Control of Radiotracer Metabolism Using the Deuterium Isotope Effect
TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that the more rapid clearance of 6‐[18F]FDA relative to (−)‐6‐(18F)FNE can be largely accounted for by metabolism by MAO and selective deuterium substitution can be used to protect a radiotracer from metabolism in vivo and to favor a particular pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of intravenous lidocaine on brain activation during non-noxious and acute noxious stimulation of the forepaw: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in the rat.
Zhongchi Luo,Mei Yu,S. David Smith,Mary F. Kritzer,Congwu Du,Yu Ma,Nora D. Volkow,Peter S. A. Glass,Helene Benveniste +8 more
TL;DR: The analgesic action of systemic lidocaine in acute pain is not reflected in a straightforward interruption of pain-induced fMRI brain activation as has been observed with opioids.
