The translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO), formerly known as the peripheral benzodiazepine
receptor, is dramatically upregulated under pathologic conditions. Activated microglia are …

A method is described to monitor the motion of the head during neurological positron emission
tomography (PET) acquisitions and to correct the data post acquisition for the recorded …

Methods capable of correcting for head motion in all six degrees of freedom have been
proposed for positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging but not yet demonstrated in …

The novel pyrazolopyrimidine ligand, N,N-diethyl-2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,7-dimethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl]-acetamide
