Rat brain acetylcholinesterase visualized with [11C]physostigmine.

TLDR
Results indicate that autoradiographic images of the rat brain obtained with [11C]physostigmine reflect AChE distribution, thus supporting the use of this radioligand to trace cerebral A cholinesterase activity in humans with positron emission tomography.

Imaging brain cholinergic activity with positron emission tomography: its role in the evaluation of cholinergic treatments in Alzheimer's dementia.

TL;DR: Positron emission tomography has the potential to identify Alzheimer's disease during early disease, and it can be used to establish whether early interventions can prevent or delay further development.

Effects of acute acetylcholinesterase inhibition on the cerebral cholinergic neuronal system and cognitive function: Functional imaging of the conscious monkey brain using animal PET in combination with microdialysis.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the PET imaging technique with specific labeled compounds in combination with microdialysis and a behavioral cognition task could be a useful method to clarify the mechanism of drugs in the living brains of experimental animals.

In vitro positron emission tomography (PET): use of positron emission tracers in functional imaging in living brain slices.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that positron emitter-labeled tracers in combination with storage phosphor screens are useful for functional imaging of living brain slices as a novel neuroscience technique.
