  • Determining effects of external stimuli on the brain using PET
    Publication number: 20030211037
    Abstract: A method of evaluating the effects of administering an external stimuli or treatment such as a psychoactive compound, a drug, or an environmental influence like temperature, noise, vibration, light and similar sensory-perceived influences, on a subject's brain using imaging techniques with position emission tomography (PET). The method measures cerebral metabolism before and after administering the external stimuli or treatment, and employs a behavioral clamp to control behavioral influences on the subject's brain after administration of the external stimuli or treatment.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 14, 2003
    Publication date: November 13, 2003
    Inventors: John T. Metz, Malcolm D. Cooper
  • Determining effects of external stimuli on the brain using PET
    Publication number: 20030206856
    Abstract: A method of evaluating the effects of administering an external stimuli or treatment such as a psychoactive compound, a drug, or an environmental influence like temperature, noise, vibration, light and similar sensory-perceived influences, on a subject's brain using imaging techniques with position emission tomography (PET). The method measures cerebral metabolism before and after administering the external stimuli or treatment, and employs a behavioral clamp to control behavioral influences on the subject's brain after administration of the external stimuli or treatment.

  • Determining effects of psychoactive compounds on the brain using positron emission tomography
    Patent number: 5827499
    Abstract: A method of determining the effects of administering a psychoactive compound, such as a drug, on a patient's brain using imaging techniques with position emission tomography (PET) is disclosed. The method measures cerebral metabolism before and after administering the compound, and employs a behavioral clamp to control behavioral influences on the patient's brain after administration of the compound. The method also includes transportation of image data into standard computer space and statistical procedures for volumetrically determining areas of treatment effects.
