Identifying brain networks in synaptic density PET (11C-UCB-J) with independent component analysis
Background: The human brain is inherently organized into distinct networks, as reported widely by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), which are based on blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal fluctuations. 11C-UCB-J PET maps synaptic density via synaptic vesicle protei...
