Synaptic density in aging mice measured by [18F]SynVesT-1 PET
Synaptic alterations in certain brain structures are related to cognitive decline in neurodegeneration and in aging. Synaptic loss in many neurodegenerative diseases can be visualized by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of synaptic vesicle ...

Comparison of ABBV-552 Safety and Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Asian and Western Adults. [PDF]
Abstract ABBV‐552, a positive modulator of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), was under investigation as a treatment for cognitive impairment related to Alzheimer's disease. This Phase 1, multicenter, open‐label, parallel cohort study (NCT05686980) was conducted to examine the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of ABBV‐552 in healthy

Partial volume correction analysis for 11C-UCB-J PET studies of Alzheimer's disease
Purpose: 11C-UCB-J PET imaging, targeting synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), has been shown to be a useful indicator of synaptic density in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Left Cerebellar-Right Frontal Uncoupling in Female First-Episode Major Depressive Disorder: Synaptic Evidence From [<sup>18</sup>F]UCB-H PET. [PDF]
This study investigates cerebello‐cerebral synaptic function in female first‐episode major depressive disorder (FMD) using [18F]UCB‐H PET imaging. Compared to healthy controls (HCs), FMD patients show reduced SUVR in the left cerebellar lobule VII and synaptic tracer uptake in the left cerebellar lobule VIII, which correlates negatively with depression

Persistent Post-Traumatic Brain Injury Hiccups Unresponsive to Standard Agents: Resolution Associated With Levetiracetam Therapy. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Post‐traumatic hiccups are an uncommon but distressing complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI), often resistant to conventional pharmacological agents, and the underlying mechanism may involve central neurological disruption of inhibitory pathways rather than gastrointestinal or metabolic aetiologies. We report a male patient in his early

The pharmacokinetics of [18F]UCB-H revisited in the healthy non-human primate brain
Background Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the Synaptic Vesicle glycoprotein (SV) 2A is a new tool to quantify synaptic density. [18F]UCB-H was one of the first promising SV2A-ligands to be labelled and used in vivo in rodent and human ...
