PET and SPECT of Neurobiological Systems (eBook) von Rudi A.J.O. Dierckx

With the latest results in probe development, this volume adopts a multidisciplinary approach in addressing a variety of aspects of neurotransmission in the brain, including visualization and quantification of more than 20 different neuroreceptors.
