Time activity curves were generated from PET image analysis using the AMIDE software. Points in the curve represent activity in the striatum after subtracting out the activity in the cerebellum at the same time point. Percent [18F]FPBM binding change in the left striatum was expressed as ((total activity in right striatum − total activity in cerebellum) − (total activity in left striatum − total activity in cerebellum))/(total activity in right striatum − total activity in cerebellum) × 100. (A) The normal control rats had a +0.5% average increase in total activity in the left striatum (n = 2, two separate rats). (B) Rat #1 showed an −11% average decrease (n = 2). (C) Rat #2 displayed a −4% average decrease (n = 2). (D) Rat #3 had a −43% average decrease (n = 2).
