TL;DR: It is shown that ancestry-informative markers significantly predict dorsal striatal D2R in 117 healthy ethnically diverse residents of the New York metropolitan area using Positron Emission Tomography with [11C]raclopride (P<0.0001), while correcting for age, sex, BMI, education, smoking status, and estimated socioeconomic status.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A more thorough understanding of sex/gender differences in neural and behavioral differences in obesity will allow for more tailored interventions, including diet suggestions, for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
Journal Article
Brain imaging of an alcoholic with MRI, SPECT, and PET.
TL;DR: This case illustrates the sensitivity of brain imaging techniques in detecting cerebral abnormalities even in the absence of neurologic and/or neuropsychological impairments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cocaine attenuates blood flow but not neuronal responses to stimulation while preserving neurovascular coupling for resting brain activity.
TL;DR: Neurovascular uncoupling by cocaine during stimulation but not during rest indicates that distinct processes might underlie neurovascular regulation for both stimulation and spontaneous activity and should be considered when interpreting functional MRI studies comparing activation responses between controls and cocaine abusers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of neurologists in tackling the opioid epidemic.
TL;DR: How neurologists are uniquely positioned to help address the opioid crisis is discussed, not only through their involvement in the management of chronic pain conditions but also because they can screen for and manage opioid use disorders.
