This study uses FDG PET/CT to compare glucose metabolism in mice with different nicotinic acetylcholinergic receptor α2 genotypes, finding sex differences and nicotine effects on brain and IBAT uptake.

This study evaluates [18F]nifene binding to α4β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in DSAD, AD, and CN brains, finding reduced binding in DSAD compared to AD and CN.

This study quantifies [18F]nifene binding to α4β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in PD and CN brain tissues, finding increased binding in PD hippocampus and subiculum.

This study compares [125I]IPPI and [125I]IBETA binding in brain tissues of AD, DSAD, and CN to assess their potential as radiotracers for tau and Aβ plaques.

The paper investigates how nicotine and varenicline distribute in brain cells by combining in vitro and in vivo imaging, finding that varenicline is trapped in 4{beta}2R-containing Golgi satellites, leading to slow release.

This study evaluates an image-derived input function for PET ligand kinetic modeling in mice, showing improved quantification compared to reference tissue methods for nicotinic receptor-binding tracers.

This study shows that nicotine exposure and neuronal activity alter Golgi membrane distribution in neurons, affecting local trafficking and potentially contributing to addiction.
