Advances in radionuclide tracers have allowed for more accurate imaging that reflects the actions of numerous neurotransmitters,energy metabolism utilization,inflamma tion,and pathological protein accumulation.All of these achievements in molecular brain imaging have broadened our understanding of brain function in Parkinson\'s disease (PD).The implementation of molecular imaging has supported more accurate PD diagnosis as well as assessment of therapeutic outcome and disease progression.Moreover,molecular imaging is well suited for the detection of preclinical or prodromal PD cases.Despite these advances,future frontiers of research in this area will focus on using multi-modalities combining positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging along with causal modeling with complex algorithms.

Autonomic disturbances often occur in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease due to damage of the central autonomic network.We summarize the structures of the central autonomic network and the clinical tests used to evaluate the functions of the auto
Accumulating evidence suggests that obesity is associated with chronic pain.However,whether obesity is associated with acute inflammatory pain is unknown.Using a well-established obese mouse model induced by a highfat diet,we found that:(1) the acute ther
In addition to restoration of bladder,bowel,and motor functions,alleviating the accompanying debilitating pain is equally important for improving the quality of life of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).Currently,however,the treatment of chronic pain
The autonomic nervous system controls various internal organs and executes crucial functions through sophisticated neural connectivity and circuits.Its dysfunction causes an imbalance of homeostasis and numerous human disorders.In the past decades,great e
