Neuroanatomical correlates of hunger and satiation in humans using positron emission tomography.
The central role of the hypothalamus in the origination and/or processing of feeding-related stimuli may be modulated by the activity of other functional areas of the brain including the insular cortex (involved in enteroceptive monitoring) and the prefrontal cortex (involved in the inhibition of inappropriate response tendencies). Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), a marker of neuronal activ...
متن کاملNeuroanatomical Correlates of Veridical and Illusory Recognition Memory: Evidence from Positron Emission Tomography
Memory distortions and illusions have been thoroughly documented in psychological studies, but little is known about the neuroanatomical correlates of true and false memories. Vivid but illusory memories can be induced by asking people whether they recall or recognize words that were not previously presented, but are semantically related to other previously presented words. We used positron emi...
متن کاملThalamocortical diaschisis: positron emission tomography in humans.
To investigate further the relations between cortical energy metabolism and neuropsychological impairment after unilateral thalamic lesion, 55 patients underwent positron emission tomography studies of either cortical oxygen consumption or glucose utilisation, including eight repeat studies, at times ranging from 4 days to 98 months after the onset of the lesion [stroke (n = 44) or stereotaxic ...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملReceptor using Positron Emission Tomography
The actions of marijuana (cannabis) are mediated by receptors (primarily the cannabinoid CB1 receptor) that have unusually high density and wide distribution in brain. In addition to mediating the effects of exogenous drugs like cannabis, these receptors also receive signals from endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), which modulate the release of several other neurotransmitters. Since abn...
