Two elderly patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with nicotine gum and patch. Reliable changes in symptomatology were noted, using a single-subject, placebo-control reversal design. Improvement was associated ...
Autoradiographic quantification of muscarinic cholinergic synaptic markers in bat, shrew, and rat brain
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
We employed radioligand binding autoradiography to determine the distributions of pre- and postsynaptic cholinergic radioligand binding sites in the brains of two species of bat, one species of shrew, and the rat. High ...
Quantitative in vivo receptor binding IV: Detection of muscarinic receptor down-regulation by equilibrium and by tracer kinetic methods
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-09)
Newly-developed methods for estimation of in vivo binding to neurotransmitter receptors should enable the detection and quantification of physiologic or pathologic changes in receptor numbers. In the present study, both ...
