Description
Jason Cai, PhD
Associate Professor of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging
Yale School of Medicine
Extensive preclinical and postmortem data have shown that the brain region specific synapse loss is a robust biomarker of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. Traditional techniques for quantifying synapses exclude their uses in the clinic, limiting their translation and direct clinical impact. PET imaging of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A)
