Reactivation of medial temporal lobe and occipital lobe during the retrieval of color information: A positron emission tomography study.
It is widely accepted that memory traces of an event include various types of information about the content of the event and about the circumstances in which the individual experienced it. However, how these various types of information are stored and later retrieved is poorly understood. One hypothesis postulates that the retrieval of specific event information reactivates regions that were ac...
متن کاملExploring Frontal Lobe Dysfunction in Schizophrenia with Positron Emission Tomography
Frontal lobe dysfuncti on in schizo ph ren ic pa tients has been high ly suspected for many years. Man y psychiatrists a nd patients, however, are awai ting so lid p roof of a biological manifesta tion of th is disease. While positron emission tomography does not uniformly demonstrate suc h a mani festa tion , it does demonstrate a prefrontal cortex deficit in most reported studies . Furthe r ,...
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 کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
متن کاملCharacterization of nontransmural myocardial infarction by positron-emission tomography.
The present study was performed to determine whether positron emission tomography (PET) performed after i.v. 11C-palmitate permits detection and characterization of nontransmural myocardial infarction. PET was performed after the i.v. injection of 11C-palmitate in 10 normal subjects, 24 patients with initial nontransmural myocardial infarction (defined electrocardiographically), and 22 patients...
