Lower level of endogenous dopamine in patients with cocaine dependence: findings from PET imaging of D(2)/D(3) receptors following acute dopamine depletion.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Previous positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies have demonstrated that cocaine dependence is associated with a decrease in dopamine type 2 and 3 (D(2)/D(3)) receptor binding in cocaine-dependent individuals relative to healthy ... Read more...

Extensive vasogenic edema of anti-aquaporin-4 antibody-related brain lesions.

20 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Using neuroimaging, we analyzed the nature of extensive brain lesions in five anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-positive patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. RESULTS: Extensive brain lesions involved white matter in ... Read more...

Effects of glutamate and alpha2-noradrenergic receptor antagonists on the development of neurotoxicity produced by chronic rotenone in rats.

15 Jul 2009 Systemic inhibition of complex I by rotenone in rats represents a model of Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to elucidate whether neramexane (NMDA, nicotinic alpha9/alpha10 and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist), idazoxan ... Read more...
