Dopamine is known to regulate food intake by modulating food reward via the mesolimbic
circuitry of the brain. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of high energy input …

Objective Brivaracetam (BRV) and levetiracetam (LEV) are antiepileptic drugs that bind
synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A). In vitro and in vivo animal studies suggest faster brain …

The pathophysiology of spasmodic torticollis is not clear. Basal ganglia dysfunction has
been suggested to underlie this clinical syndrome. We studied resting cerebral glucose …

Iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) uptake and retention was imaged by positron emission tomography
(PET) at 0–48 min and 24 h after administration of 28.0–64.4 MBq (0.76–1.74 mCi) of[ 124 I]…

The effects of high euphorigenic doses of d-amphetamine (0.9–1.0 mg/kg po) on regional
cerebral glucose metabolism (rCMRglu) and psychological measures were investigated in 10 …

Locoregional administration may yield higher tumor drug concentrations compared with
intravenous injection and may reduce the risk of systemic adverse effect. Furthermore, in the …

This study sought to determine the nature of the relationship between cognition and striatal
dopaminergic functioning in 28 patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) using …

MATERIALS AND METHODS FDG PET data from 19 patients with histologically proven
supratentorial malignant gliomas were analyzed retrospectively. Fifteen patients (aged 53 Ā±12 …

Mavoglurant binds to same allosteric site on metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) as
[ 11 C]-ABP688, a radioligand. This open-label, single-center pilot study estimates extent of …

A grey surface on a bright background appears to be darker than the same surface on a dark
background. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study this phenomenon …
