Seminar: “Mapping Synaptic Changes in Drug Exposure and Intervention Using PET Imaging”

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to johnson.agniswamy@emory.edu to help us plan accordingly. Kindly indicate any dietary restrictions.If you have any questions or would like to meet with the speaker, please contact Adriana Galvan (agalvan@emory.edu). University Event Topic: Lectures & Meetings. Seminars & Workshops. School: Emory National Primate Research Center. Department / Organization: Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Building/Room: Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Meeting Organizer/Sponsor: Neuropharmacology and Neurologic Disorders Division at the Emory National Primate Research. Speaker/Presenter: Dr. Oscar-Solis Castrejon NIDA Research Fellow Summary: Chronic drug exposure alters synaptic density in a region- and context-dependent manner, yet in vivo tools to monitor these changes remain limited. In this talk, I will present data from rodent models using SynVesT-1 PET imaging to longitudinally assess synaptic density following cocaine self-administration. I will also share new findings on how ketamine may modulate synaptic integrity in this context. These findings support the use of SynVesT-1… Cost: Free. Contact Name: Adriana Galvan.
