This study identifies two binding sites of the PET tracer MODAG-005 on lipidic α-synuclein fibrils, with the cavity site being more stable and selectively occupied under certain conditions.

This study shows that dissonant music affects early visual processing by engaging the primary visual cortex through auditory-visual interactions during film viewing.

This study maps serotonergic dynamics using drug-modulated molecular connectivity to show changes in serotonin transporter occupancy and functional brain network after MDMA exposure.

This study uses simultaneous fPET/fMRI to show that optogenetic stimulation suppresses nigrostriatal pathway activity through presynaptic autoinhibition, revealing a dissociation between BOLD signal depression and neuronal inactivity.

This study uses PET/fMRI in rats to show MDMA causes global hemodynamic decreases and localized metabolic increases, indicating neurovascular uncoupling due to serotonin transporter occupancy.

This study combines CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing with in vivo imaging to explore the impact of VMAT2 gene disruption on brain function and connectivity in rats.

The paper examines the relationship between dopamine D2 receptor and serotonin transporter availabilities in rats and their correlation with resting-state functional connectivity networks.
