In Vivo Imaging of Synaptic Density in Schizophrenia
Now, for the first time, researchers will be able to measure the density of brain synapses in schizophrenia in vivo (i.e. in living patients). This is possible using a new PET tracer ([11C] UCB-J) that was recently developed at Yale. The tracer binds to specific proteins located on the ends of axon fibers, just prior to the synapse where the axon sends its message to awaiting dendrites. The binding of the tracer to this protein will serve as a proxy for measuring the density of synapses in living patients.
