Activated microglia and alpha 7 nicotinic acetylchorine receptors in schizophrenia: A PET study - Evaluation for activated microglia and alpha 7 nicotinic receptors using PET in schizophrenia patients

The schizophrenia group showed an increase in the binding potential of MeQAA in the whole brain compared to the healthy group. On the other hand, the binding potential of DPA713 was not significantly different between the two groups. In the future, we plan to conduct a correlation analysis of the binding potential of MeQAA with symptom severity and the binding potential of DPA713, as well as an ROI analysis by defining regions of interest, and submit the results to an international journal.
