Monitoring Neuroprotective Effects Using Positron Emission Tomography With [11C]ITMM, a Radiotracer for Metabotropic Glutamate 1 Receptor [Basic Sciences]

Conclusions— [11C]ITMM-PET may be a useful technique for characterizing the change in mGlu1 level during the occurrence and progression of neuronal damage and for evaluating the neuroprotective effects of drugs after ischemia.
