Abstract

Alterations in presynaptic and postsynaptic dopaminergic system and cerebral glucose metabolism in corticobasal degeneration (CBD) were assessed to evaluate the potential usefulness of different imaging methods for CBD. ^123^I‐FP‐CIT/^123^I‐β‐CIT SPECT and ^123^I‐IBZM SPECT as well as ^18^F‐FDG PET were performed in eight CBD patients. Decreased presynaptic dopamine transporter binding was found in all CBD patients while D2 receptor binding was reduced in only one patient. ^18^F‐FDG PET displayed a contralateral hypometabolism in cortical and subcortical areas in seven out of eight patients. Our results demonstrate that glucose metabolism and DAT are reduced, while D2 receptors may be frequently preserved in CBD. Β© 2006 Movement Disorder Society

## Abstract Increasing evidence implies the involvement of the dopamine (DA) system in the pathogenesis of alcoholism. We measured striatal DA D~2~ receptors in Cloninger type 1 and 2 alcoholics by using [^125^I]epidepride in human postmortem whole hemispheric autoradiography (WHA), which provides

The time course of the loss in presynaptic dopamine transporters (DAT) and of the increase in postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) was studied in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. For this, in vitro autoradiographic experiments were performed in the striatum using (E)-N-(3-iodoprop-2-enyl)-2be
