PET evidence of central GABAergic changes in stiff-person syndrome / D. Perani, V. Garibotto, A. Panzacchi, R.M. Moresco, P. Ortelli, M. Corbo, F. Fazio, F. Folli. - In: MOVEMENT DISORDERS. - ISSN 0885-3185. - 22:7(2007), pp. 1030-1033.
Abstract:
We measured expression of central nervous system GABA-A receptors with 11C-flumazenil (11C-FMZ) and PET in two subjects with stiff person syndrome (SPS). We found reduced 11C-FMZ binding potential (BP) in motor-premotor cortex, and increased 11C-FMZ BP in the cerebellar nuclei. This is the first in vivo PET evidence of central GABA-A receptors dysfunction in SPS, possibly concurring to the motor symptoms.
