PURPOSE: To increase the availability of
scientific knowledge related to the distribution in human brain of receptor populations thought to be involved in
psychiatric and neurologic disorders, that are the target of efforts to develop radioligands for use in studies
employing positron emission tomography and SPECT. We are in possession of a large and unique data base of postmortem
human brain autoradiographic receptor studies that map in high resolution the level of binding in slide mounted section
suitable for comparison with lower resolution images generated by in vivo scans using PET or SPECT. Investigators can
use their own PET or SPECT scans to compare to our postmortem images and to our PET studies to determine the comparability
of distribution as an anatomical validation of new ligands. Postmortem brain autoradiography images provided by Victoria Arango, Ph.D., Mark D. Underwood, Ph.D. and J. John Mann, M.D. PET and MRI images provided by Ramin V. Parsey, M.D., Ph.D., Jeffrey Miller, M.D. and J. John Mann, M.D. All research was performed at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) and Columbia University.
