Sensitivity of binding of high-affinity dopamine receptor radioligands to increased synaptic dopamine.

TL;DR: The results are consistent with increased competition between dopamine and radioligand for binding to both D1 and D2 receptors after treatment with RTI‐55, and suggest that the magnitude of the competition is reduced by failure of the receptor binding of high‐affinity radiolIGands to rapidly attain equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroimaging of inflammation in alcohol use disorder: a review

TL;DR: Current neuroimaging literature assessing the impacts of alcohol use on neuroimmune activity in the brain is reviewed, suggesting considerable treatment potential for alcohol use disorder and its inflammatory comorbidities.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Spatial resolution of a noninvasive measurement of the arterial and venous input function using a wrist monitor

TL;DR: The possibility of making a noninvasive measurement of the arterial blood is explored to determine the feasibility of using a planar set of detectors situated around the wrist to measure the activity flowing through arterial and venous tubing in the phantom.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Brain Glucose Metabolism and Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO B) in Traumatic Brain Injury.

TL;DR: MAO B images provide a markedly better delineation of the medial temporal regions than LCMRglu, indicating that prospective studies are needed to determine the pathophysiology of hypometabolic lesions in head trauma.
