[18F]JHU37107 enables noninvasive detection of DREADD in locally-targeted cells and at their long-range projections. a Structure of [18F]JHU37107. b–d [18F]JHU37107 selectively binds to DREADDs in the brain of transgenic D1-DREADD mice (n = 3 mice per condition) and is blocked by 0.1 mg kg−1 of JHU37160. e–j [18F]JHU37107 selectively binds to AAV-DREADDs expressed in the rat cortex and enables noninvasive and longitudinal mapping of both local (injection site) and long-range projections of motor cortex circuitry (ventrolateral thalamus shown as a main hub). Representative immunohistochemical images showing GFP (green) or HA-tagged DREADDs (red) from representative rats are shown side by side with their corresponding [18F]JHU37107 PET images. The white arrows point at corresponding anatomical regions. k–m [18F]JHU37107 binds to hM4Di expressed in the monkey amygdala and at putative projection sites. All data are represented as mean ± SEM except in (l) and (m) where individual values are displayed. Scale bars are 1 mm. Source data are provided as a Source Data file and the raw PET data are available upon request
