The regulatory mechanism of bipedal standing in humans remains to be elucidated. We
investigated neural substrates for maintaining standing postures in humans using PET with our …

Laughter or smile is one of the emotional expressions of pleasantness with characteristic
contraction of the facial muscles, of which the neural substrate remains to be explored. This …

The basal ganglia play a role in controlling movement during gait. The aim of the present study
was to investigate changes in dopamine transporter (DAT) availability in the striatum and …

This study was designed to assess the value of whole-body positron emission tomography (PET)
using 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) for the diagnosis of recurrent …

To determine whether hemodynamic parameters are changed by upright posture in healthy
middle-aged humans, absolute values of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were …

This positron emission tomography (PET) study was designed to compare 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose
(FDG) kinetic parameters of tumours derived from imaging frames of 0…

To investigate changes in the relation between presynaptic and postsynaptic dopaminergic
functions in vivo in both nigrostriatal and mesocortical systems in Parkinson's disease (PD), …

To investigate effect of assuming of upright posture on brain hemodynamics in patients with
unilateral internal carotid or middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), local tissue oxygen …

In order to investigate the neural substrates in the intact human brain, healthy volunteers
underwent positron emission tomography (PET) with [ 15 O]H 2 O while they were adopting …

Microdialysis continuously monitors the chemistry of a small focal volume of the cerebral
extracellular space. Conversely, positron emission tomography (PET) establishes metabolism …
