Plasma β-synuclein associates with hippocampal synaptic density measured with [<sup>11</sup>C]UCB-J PET and plasma tau markers in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Plasma β‐synuclein is a promising blood‐based synaptic biomarker, but relationships with synaptic density as indicated by [11C]UCB‐J positron emission tomography (PET), and blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, neurodegeneration, and astrocyte activation need further characterization.

Synaptic vesicle protein SV2A imaging with [11C]UCB‐J as a novel biomarker of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundSynaptic loss is a known feature of symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Conversely, abundance of synapses may confer resilience to cognitive decline in the presence of AD pathology. Currently, the extent and distribution of synapse loss during the asymptomatic stages of AD is unknown. Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) is found

Glutamatergic excitotoxicity is hypothesised to underlie synaptic loss in schizophrenia pathogenesis, but it is unknown whether synaptic markers are related to glutamatergic function in vivo.

The relationship between SV2A levels, neural activity, and cognitive function in healthy humans: A [11C]UCB-J PET and fMRI study. [PDF]
Abstract Synaptic terminal density is thought to influence cognitive function and neural activity, yet its role in cognition has not been explored in healthy humans. We examined these relationships using [11C]UCB-J positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 25 healthy adults performing ...

In vivo imaging of synaptic SV2A protein density in healthy and striatal-lesioned rats with [11C]UCB-J PET [PDF]
The number of functionally active synapses provides a measure of neural integrity, with reductions observed in neurodegenerative disorders. [11C]UCB-J binds to synaptic vesicle 2A (SV2A) transmembrane protein located in secretory vesicles.

Synaptic Terminal Density Early in the Course of Schizophrenia: an in vivo UCB-J Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging Study of Synaptic Vesicle Glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) [PDF]
Background: The synaptic hypothesis is an influential theory of the pathoaetiology of schizophrenia. Supporting this, there is lower uptake of the synaptic terminal density marker UCB-J in patients with chronic schizophrenia compared to controls. However,

IntroductionSynapse loss is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is associated with cognitive decline. In this study, we tested [18F]SDM-16, a novel metabolically stable SV2A PET imaging probe, in the transgenic APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1 ...
