Figure 5. Human Neuroimaging of FAAH using [11C]CURB.
A. Transaxial sections of [11C]CURB-PET at baseline (left) and blocking (right) with oral pre-treatment of a FAAH inhibitor (PF-04457845, 50 μg/kg). B. Transaxial (top) and coronal (bottom) [11C]CURB-PET images in a healthy control showing high uptake in striatum, thalamus and cortical areas (left) compared to a subject meeting criteria for cannabis use disorder scanned after overnight abstinence with visibly lower uptake values in striatum, thalamus and cortical areas (right).
