Positron emission tomography imaging of D(2/3) agonist binding in healthy human subjects with the radiotracer [(11)C]-N-propyl-norapomorphine: preliminary evaluation and reproducibility studies.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: (-)-N-[(11)C]-propyl-norapomorphine (NPA) is a full dopamine D(2/3) receptor agonist radiotracer suitable for imaging D(2/3) receptors configured in a state of high affinity for agonists using positron emission tomography. The aim of the ... Read more...

Organization of the corticostriatal projection from rat medial agranular cortex to far dorsolateral striatum.

20 May 2009 The rat medial agranular cortex (AGm) projects bilaterally to the striatum, mainly to the dorsocentral striatum (DCS) and in a narrow band in the far dorsolateral striatum (FDLS). For the projection from AGm to DCS, axonal and synaptic densities are ... Read more...

Reconciling neuroimaging and neuropathological findings in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

29 Apr 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Although structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and neuropathological investigations offer complementary information that can be used to formulate and test hypotheses about pathophysiological mechanisms in psychiatric ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Corpus Striatum'

Definition: Striped gray and white matter consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the thalamus in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The white matter is the internal capsule.

Descriptor UI: D003342

Alternative terms: Corpus Striatum; Striatum, Corpus; Lenticular Nucleus; Nucleus, Lenticular; Nucleus Lentiformis; Lentiformis, Nucleus; Lentiform Nucleus; Nucleus, Lentiform;
