Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging the brain marijuana receptor: development of a radioligand that binds to cannabinoid CB1 receptors in vivo.
Samuel J. Gatley,Ruoxi Lan,Nora D. Volkow,Nora D. Volkow,N. Pappas,Payton King,Cristopher Wong,Andrew N. Gifford,Beatrice Pyatt,Stephen L. Dewey,Alexandros Makriyannis +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that [123I]AM281 has appropriate properties for in vivo studies of cannabinoid CB1 receptors and is suitable for imaging these receptors in the living human brain.
Journal Article
PET scanning of iodine-124-3F9 as an approach to tumor dosimetry during treatment planning for radioimmunotherapy in a child with neuroblastoma.
Steven M. Larson,Keith S. Pentlow,Nora D. Volkow,Alfred P. Wolf,Ronald D. Finn,Richard M. Lambrecht,Martin C. Graham,Gene Di Resta,Bernard Bendriem,Farhad Daghighian,Samuel D.J. Yeh,G.J. Wang,Nai-Kong V. Cheung +12 more
TL;DR: Positron emission tomography of 124I-labeled antibodies can be used to measure cumulated activity or residence time in tumor for more accurate estimates of radiation absorbed tumor dose from radioiodinated antibodies and can help guide management decisions in patients who are candidates for radioimmunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroimaging for drug addiction and related behaviors
TL;DR: This review focuses on studies employing positron emission tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and electroencephalography to investigate these behaviors in drug-addicted human populations and discusses how these techniques have uniquely contributed to a deeper understanding of addictive behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced resting activity of the oral somatosensory cortex in obese subjects
Gene-Jack Wang,Nora D. Volkow,Christoph Felder,Joanna S. Fowler,A.V. Levy,N. Pappas,Christopher Wong,Wei Zhu,Noelwah Netusil +8 more
TL;DR: Obese subjects have significantly higher metabolic activity in the bilateral parietal somatosensory cortex in the regions where sensation to the mouth, lips and tongue are located, which could make them more sensitive to the rewarding properties of food related to palatability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased cerebral response to inhibitory neurotransmission in alcoholics.
Nora D. Volkow,Gene-Jack Wang,Robert Hitzemann,Joanna S. Fowler,Alfred P. Wolf,N. Pappas,Anat Biegon,Stephen L. Dewey +7 more
TL;DR: The alcoholic subjects had a blunted response to lorazepam that was specific to certain brain regions that was seen in the alcoholic subjects, suggesting that the cerebellum may contribute to the decreased sensitivity to lOrazepham.
