The paper investigates the association between CNR1 gene expression and CB1 receptor protein expression in the human brain using PET scans and mRNA data, finding moderate to strong correlations.

This study finds that higher mu-opioid receptor availability in specific brain regions is associated with increased sex drive in healthy human males.

This study investigates the role of cerebral μ-opioid and CB1-receptor systems in human feeding behavior using PET scans and the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire.

This study finds seasonal variation in brain mu-opioid receptor availability in humans, showing an inverted U-shaped relationship with daylength.

This study quantifies interindividual variability and hemispheric lateralization of μ-opioid receptors in the human brain using PET and Bayesian modeling.

Magia automates PET brain data processing, producing outcome measures consistent with manual methods despite anatomical differences in reference regions.
