PET Imaging of Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Using [18F]FMPEP-d2 - Full Text View

Sponsor:	National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Information provided by:	National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00598286

Purpose

The purpose of this protocol is to measure brain CB1 receptors in the hope to better understand how they work, so that one day we can understand how the CB1 receptors are involved in psychiatric, neurological, and behavioral disorders.
