PET imaging in clinical drug abuse research.

Samuel J. Gatley, +6 more
- 30 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: PET and SPECT have been used to help the understanding of many aspects of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of abused drugs, and have made valuable contributions in terms of drug mechanisms, drug interactions, and drug toxicities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bariatric surgery in obese patients reduced resting connectivity of brain regions involved with self-referential processing.

Guanya Li, +19 more
- 01 Dec 2018 - 
TL;DR: Bariatric surgery significantly decreased FCD in regions involved in self‐referential processing (VMPFC, D MPFC, dACC, and precuneus), and interoception (insula), and changes in VMPFC/precuneus were associated with reduction in BMI suggesting a role in improving control of eating behaviors following surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasensitive detection of 3D cerebral microvascular network dynamics in vivo

Yingtian Pan, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: This paper reports on a new method, contrast-enhanced ODT with Intralipid that significantly improves quantitative CBFv imaging of capillary networks by obviating the errors from long latency between flowing red blood cells (low hematocrit ~20% in capillaries).
Journal Article

Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy on Brain Glucose Metabolism: A Preliminary Study.

Nora D. Volkow, +4 more
- 01 Jan 1988 - 
TL;DR: Depressed individuals showed decreased uptake of FDG in the frontal cortex after ECT treatment and studies of radioactive uptake were done using FDG as a measure for glucose metabolism and with oxygen-15-labeled water as aMeasure for cerebral blood flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leptin increases striatal dopamine D2 receptor binding in leptin‐deficient obese (ob/ob) mice

Jennifer Pfaffly, +6 more
- 01 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: Findings provide further evidence that leptin modulates D2R expression in striatum and that these effects are genotype/phenotype dependent, and suggest that leptin‐deficient mice show increased DA activity in reward‐related brain regions.
