Journal ArticleDOI
In Vitro and Ex Vivo Autoradiographic Studies of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Using [18F]Fluoronorchloroepibatidine in Rodent and Human Brain
S. John Gatley,Yu-Shin Ding,Dan Brady,Andrew N. Gifford,Stephen L. Dewey,F. Ivy Carroll,Joanna S. Fowler,Nora D. Volkow,Nora D. Volkow +8 more
TL;DR: In vitro autoradiography of thaw-mounted sections of human thalamus revealed a heterogeneous pattern of binding, which supports the suitability of [ 18 F]NFEP as a radioligand for PET studies of nAcChR in the living human brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obese rats with deficient leptin signaling exhibit heightened sensitivity to olfactory food cues.
Panayotis K. Thanos,Lisa S. Robison,Lisa S. Robison,Lisa S. Robison,John K. Robinson,Michael Michaelides,Gene-Jack Wang,Nora D. Volkow +7 more
TL;DR: The findings support the interactions between food intake, obesity, and food‐seeking behavior and are consistent with leptin inhibiting the brain's reactivity to food cues and suggest that the enhanced sensitivity to the food cues with leptin deficiency is likely to contribute to overeating and weight gain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocannabinoids and acute pain after total knee arthroplasty.
Syed Azim,James Nicholson,Mario J. Rebecchi,William Galbavy,Tian Feng,Ruth A. Reinsel,Nora D. Volkow,Helene Benveniste,Martin Kaczocha +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that endocannabinoid metabolism may serve as a target for the development of novel analgesics both for systemic or local delivery into the joint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological correlates of mental activity studied with PET.
TL;DR: Examples from findings obtained with positron emission tomography (PET) are used to illustrate the highly interactive organization of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of family income with cognition and brain structure in USA children: prevention implications.
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative contributions of various socioeconomic factors on brain development and the mediating effects between cognition and brain morphometry have not been investigated, and they used cross-sectional data from the ABCD Study to evaluate associations among various SES and demographic factors, brain morphometrics, and cognition and their reproducibility.
