The paper uses PET and MSOT to observe hypoxia and increased spinal cord metabolism in tMCAO mice compared to sham-operated mice.

The paper investigates plasma endocannabinoids in cocaine dependence and their relationship with mGluR5 density in the brain, finding higher 2-AG levels in dependent users and a positive association with mGluR5 density.

This study evaluates CB2R expression and pyridine-based radiotracers in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, finding increased CB2R in glial cells but no significant mRNA differences.

This study uses PET and MRI to assess CB2R levels and metabolic changes in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia, finding increased CB2R and reduced glucose metabolism in the ischemic striatum.

The paper examines changes in cerebral and peripheral markers of glutamatergic signaling across the human sleep-wake cycle and finds that sleep loss increases glutamate and mGluR5 availability, which normalize with recovery sleep.
