Regional cerebral blood flow response in gray matter heterotopia during finger tapping: an activation study with positron emission tomography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined regional cerebral blood flow response in a patient with gray matter heterotopia located beneath the sensorimotor cortex during a finger tapping task. We found regional cerebral blood flow was specifically increased during contralateral finger tapping. This indicated the possibility of functional differentiation of the ectopic neurons despite incomplete migration.

Measurement of the ratio of cerebral oxygen consumption to glucose utilization by positron emission tomography: its consistency with the values determined by the Kety-Schmidt method in normal volunteers.
The regional interrelationship between cerebral oxygen consumption (CMRO2) and cerebral glucose utilization (CMRGlc) was studied in normal subjects using positron emission tomography (PET) and the 15O steady-state inhalation and the [18F]fluoro deoxyglucose method. The use of standard sets of rate constants and the model lumped constant of 0.52 as well as the regional blood-brain partition coef...
متن کاملShort Review Unraveling the Function of Claustrum
Claustrum is a thin sheet of gray matter located between external and extreme capsules of lentiform nucleus (basal ganglia). Functions of claustrum are still not clear. Positron emission tomography (PET) studies have been helpful in measuring the cerebral blood flow responses, as reflection of regional neuronal activity to various sensory stimuli. With PET it was seen that claustrum of healthy ...
متن کاملDatabase of normal human cerebral blood flow measured by SPECT: I. Comparison between I-123-IMP, Tc-99m-HMPAO, and Tc-99m-ECD as referred with O-15 labeled water PET and voxel-based morphometry.
OBJECTIVES Three accumulative tracers, iodine-123-labeled N-isopropyl-p-iodoamphetamine (I-123-IMP), technetium-99m-labeled hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime (Tc-99m-HMPAO), and technetium-99m-labeled ethyl cysteinate dimer (Tc-99m-ECD) are widely used to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In the present study, normal regional distribution of CB...

Regional CMRglc (rCMRglc) values were measured with [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET), using a Scanditronix PC-1024-7B scanner, in 14 healthy, noninstitutionalized subjects with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome; DS) (mean age 30.0 years, range 25-38 years) and in 13 sex-matched, healthy volunteers (mean age 29.5 years, range 22-38 years). In the DS group, m...
متن کاملMetabolic and hemodynamic evaluation of brain metastases from small cell lung cancer with positron emission tomography.
Brain metastases from small cell lung cancer respond to chemotherapy, but response duration is short and the intracerebral concentration of chemotherapy may be too low because of the characteristics of the blood-brain barrier. Positron emission tomography has been applied in a variety of tumors for studies of metabolic and hemodynamic features. This study was performed to determine regional cer...
