The purpose of this study was to examine changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using positron emission tomography (PET) during overt word and nonword reading tasks to determine structures involved in semantic processing. Ten young, healthy, right-handed subjects were scanned 12 times, twice

## Abstract Measurement of cerebral arterial and venous blood volumes during increased cerebral blood flow can provide important information regarding hemodynamic regulation under normal, pathological, and neuronally active conditions. In particular, the change in venous blood volume induced by neu
The behavior of cerebral blood flow and oxygenation during prolonged brain activation was studied using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensitized to flow and oxygenation changes, as well as positron emission tomography sensitized to flow. Neuronal habituation effects and hemodynamic changes were e
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was studied in nine patients with Alzheimer's disease before and after trestment with tacrine. A small but significant improvement in cognitive functioning on the drug was not accompanied by significant changes in rCBF for the group as a whole. However, when the a
