Novel PET tracer detects synaptic changes in spinal cord and brain after spinal cord injury

Novel PET tracer detects synaptic changes in spinal cord and brain after spinal cord injury

A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By identifying synapse loss, the PET approach provides molecularly unique and complementary information to other structural imaging methods, offering a promising objective metric to evaluate novel therapeutics for spinal cord injuries.
