 Project Summary  Sudeep Chakravorty, M.D. (Young Investigator 2002) of Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, is using a specialized technique with PET FDG neuroimaging that makes it possible to study sleeping subjects outside the scanner, so that he can investigate deficits of memory believed to be connected with schizophrenia and may be associated with the limbic system. He believes he will find a relative increase in pre-frontal cortex (PFC) activity in slow wave sleep (SWS), an increase in limbic activity during waking and a reduction of activity during REM in patients with schizophrenia as compared with healthy controls. Program Area: SCHIZOPHRENIA/PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS\Schizophrenia |
