ranging from ensuring uterine myometrial contractions at parturition and post-partum …

The PET radioligand 2-fluoro-3-[2-((S)-3-pyrrolinyl)methoxy]pyridine ( 18 F-nifene) is an α4β2*
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist developed to provide accelerated in vivo …

Disruption of the serotonin system has been implicated in anxiety and depression and a related
genetic variation has been identified that may predispose individuals for these illnesses. …

Background We examined the effects of moderate prenatal alcohol exposure and/or prenatal
stress exposure on (D 1 R) binding in a non human primate model. The dopamine D 1 R is …

To aid in the analysis of rhesus macaque brain images, we aligned digitized anatomical regions
from the widely used atlas of Paxinos et al. to a published magnetic resonance imaging (…

and alcohol self-administration. The goal of this work was to directly observe in vivo effects of …

Background To determine the effects in adult offspring of maternal exposure to stress and
alcohol during pregnancy, we imaged striatal and midbrain dopamine transporter (DAT) …

[ 18 F]Nifene is an agonist PET radioligand developed to image α4β2 ∗ nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors (nAChRs). This work aims to quantify the receptor density (B max ) of α4β2 ∗ …

Background The precise nature of modifications to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)
system in response to chronic ethanol exposure is poorly understood. The present work …
