A postmortem study of brain nicotinic receptors in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: The present findings indicate that nicotinic receptors are affected not only in AD, but also in PD and that dysfunction of the cholinergic system in the frontal cortex is involved in the dementia process in PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-dependent decline in human brain dopamine D1 and D2 receptors

TL;DR: The results show that the dopaminergic system degenerates in the aging striatum and may contribute to the frequent occurrence of extrapyramidal symptoms in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Microglial Activation in an Acute Model of Neuroinflammation Using PET and Radiotracers 11C-(R)-PK11195 and 18F-GE-180

TL;DR: In this paper, a reproducible lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced model of acute central nervous system inflammation was used to compare the binding performance of a new translocator protein (TSPO) ligand 18F-GE-180 with 11C-(R)-PK11195.
