PET CEREBRAL BLOOD ACTIVATION STUDIES OF EXECUTIVE MENTAL PROCESSES IN HUMAN

通过正电子发射断层扫描(PET)，我们将对大脑进行表征 辅助执行认知过程的区域，用于 在心理上计划和协调日常任务的执行。 宠物脑图像将从正常受试者和神经病患者中获得 患者在执行认知任务转换过程时。我们的 结果将有助于改进诊断技术，神经外科 指导方针和康复疗法治疗以下疾病的患者 执行认知过程受损。

With Positron Emission Tomography (PET), we will characterize brain regions that subserve executive cognitive processes which are used for mentally planning and coordinating the performance of everday tasks. PET brain images will be obtained from normal subjects and neurological patients while they perform a cognitive task-switching procedure. Our results will help improve diagnostic techniques, neurosurgical guidelines, and rehabiliation therapies for treating patients whose executive cognitive processes are impaired.
