There is a common belief that an influenza pandemic not only is inevitable, but that it is
imminent. It is further believed by some, and dramatized by a 2006 made-for-television-movie, …

In postmortem studies of patients with schizophrenia, D 2 dopamine receptors in the basal
ganglia have been observed to be more numerous than in patients with no history of …

D2 dopamine and S2 serotonin receptors were imaged and measured in healthy human
subjects by positron emission tomography after intravenous injection of 11 C-labeled 3-N-…

Neurotransmitter receptors may be involved in a number of neuropsychiatric disease states.
The ligand 3-N-[ 11 C]methylspiperone, which preferentially binds to dopamine receptors in …

In the items below, entries starting with an asterisk are errors that should be corrected. Entries

Accuracy in in vivo quantitation of brain function with positron emission tomography (PET)
has often been limited by partial volume effects. This limitation becomes prominent in studies …

We have extended our previous work investigating the neural correlates of cue-induced cocaine
craving through the use of positron emission tomography with greater spatial resolution (…

Carfentanil is a potent, synthetic opiate that binds to mu opiate receptors with very high affinity
(K1= 0.051 n M, 37 [degrees]). In rat brain, carfentanil is 90 and 250 times more selective …

• We examined the effects of cocaine hydrochloride (40 mg intravenously) on regional cerebral
metabolic rates for glucose and on subjective self-reports of eight polydrug abusers in a …

Background: A prior positron emission tomographic study from The Johns Hopkins University,
