  • PT = cortical infarction induced by photothrombosis; ; 3H-DG = 3H-deoxyglucose; 3H-Pk11195 = ligand for peripheral benzodiazepine receptors; 3H-MET = 3H-methyl-l-methionine; PT/brain = ratio of maximal tracer uptake PT divided by mean uptake in normal brain tissue; TN/brain = ratio of maximal tracer uptake in thalamic nucleus divided by mean uptake in normal brain; Mot = motor cortex; Sens = somatosensory cortex; CPu = caudate putamen; Po = posterior thalamic nuclear group; VPM = ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus; VPL = ventroposterolateral thalamic nucleus; VL = ventrolateral thalamic nucleus; Vis = visual cortex; DLG = dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; LP = lateral posterior thalamic nucleus.
