PET Imaging Reveals Brain Benefits from Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery
Imaging studies revealed that weight loss surgery has been found to suppress changes in brain metabolism associated with obesity and improve cognitive function involved in planning, strategizing, and organizing. More...31 Aug 2014
![Image: PET scans highlight the loss of dopamine storage capacity in Parkinson’s disease. In the scan of a disease-free brain, made with [18F]-FDOPA PET (left image), the red and yellow areas show the dopamine concentration in a normal putamen, a part of the mid-brain. Compared with that scan, a similar scan of a Parkinson’s patient (right image) shows a marked dopamine deficiency in the putamen (Photo courtesy of the Feinstein Institute’s Center for Neurosciences).](https://globetechcdn.com.axis1.net/mobile_medicalimaging/images/stories/articles/article_images/2014-07-31/JQR-574.jpg "Image: PET scans highlight the loss of dopamine storage capacity in Parkinson’s disease.

Identifying Brain Networks Using Metabolic Brain Imaging-Based Mapping Strategy
A new image-based strategy has been used to identify and gauge placebo effects in randomized clinical trials for brain disorders. The researchers employed a network mapping technique to identify specific brain circuits underlying the response to sham surgery in Parkinson’s disease. More...31 Jul 2014
