Determination of the Unilaterally Damaged Region May Depend on the Asymmetry of Carotid Blood Flow Velocity in Hemiparkinsonian Monkey: A Pilot Study

Figure 1

(a) Representative ¹⁸F-FP-CIT PET images fused with individual MRI in unilaterally damaged (C1), bilaterally damaged (C2), and undamaged (C3) cynomolgus monkeys after MPTP infusion. (b) Histogram representing ¹⁸F-FP-CIT binding potential in subregions of the dorsal striatum after left internal carotid artery infusion of MPTP in unilaterally (C1) and bilaterally (C2) damaged monkeys after MPTP infusion. The dotted line indicates the contralateral dorsal striatum relative to the MPTP-infused side. Binding potential, BP; Contra, Contralateral; Ipsi, Ipsilateral.
