Research Focus
Most of my research activities have centered around neuroreceptor imaging in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon computerized tomography (SPECT) in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders and in healthy control subjects. The research projects are listed according to the neurochemical transmission systems that have been studied, with further clarification as to which patient groups were involved during which period:Publications
