Brain Biochemistry Post Mortem

- Ligand autoradiography
- In situ hybridization
- Functional genomics

Ligand autoradiography brain cryosections biochemical analyses are performed using ligand autoradiography. The main information that can be obtained is quantitative distribution of neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. The resolution of these images is approximately 50 micrometers in the horizontal plane. These images are complementary to the in vivo images obtained in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Tomography).
