Glial disturbances are highly implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and may be linked with glutamatergic dysregulation. Myo-inositol (mI), a putative marker glial cells, choline (Cho), representative membrane turnover, both present larger concentrations within cells than neurons, their elevation is often interpreted to reflect activation. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) allows for evaluation mI, Cho, glutamate, glutamate + glutamine (Glx), N -acetylaspartate...

Food addiction is a debated topic in neuroscience. Evidence suggests diabetes related to reduced basal dopamine levels the nucleus accumbens, similar persons with drug addiction. It unknown whether insulin sensitivity endogenous ventral striatum of humans. We examined this using agonist D2/3 receptor radiotracer [11C]-(+)-PHNO and an acute depletion challenge. In separate sample healthy persons, we could alter sensitivity. Insulin was estimated for each subject from fasting plasma glucose...

Mounting evidence associates a lifetime history of major depression (LMD) with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Studies have shown that (MD) is strongly linked to pathophysiological markers AD, such as cortical amyl
