Decreased brain dopaminergic transporters in HIV-associated dementia patients (2004)
Wang, Gene-Jack, Chang, Linda, Volkow, Nora D., Telang, Frank, Logan, Jean, Ernst, Thomas, ...
Summary HIV has a propensity to invade subcortical regions of the brain, which may lead to a subcortical dementia termed HIV-cognitive motor complex. Therefore, we aimed to assess whether dopamine...

Low monoamine oxidase B in peripheral organs in smokers
Fowler, Joanna S., Logan, Jean, Wang, Gene-Jack, Volkow, Nora D., Telang, Frank, Zhu, Wei, ...
One of the major mechanisms for terminating the actions of catecholamines and vasoactive dietary amines is oxidation by monoamine oxidase (MAO). Smokers have been shown to have reduced levels of...

The neurobiological mechanisms underlying overeating in obesity are not understood. Here, we assessed the neurobiological responses to an Implantable Gastric Stimulator (IGS), which induces stomach...
Methylphenidate Decreased the Amount of Glucose Needed by the Brain to Perform a Cognitive Task
Volkow, Nora D., Fowler, Joanna S., Wang, Gene-Jack, Telang, Frank, Logan, Jean, Wong, Christopher, ...
The use of stimulants (methylphenidate and amphetamine) as cognitive enhancers by the general public is increasing and is controversial. It is still unclear how they work or why they improve...

Although impaired inhibitory control is linked to a broad spectrum of health problems, including obesity, the brain mechanism(s) underlying voluntary control of hunger are not well understood. We...
Association of Body Mass and Brain Activation during Gastric Distention: Implications for Obesity
Tomasi, Dardo, Wang, Gene-Jack, Wang, Ruiliang, Backus, Walter, Geliebter, Allan, Telang, Frank, ...
Overlapping neuronal circuits in addiction and obesity: evidence of systems pathology
Volkow, Nora D, Wang, Gene-Jack, Fowler, Joanna S, Telang, Frank
Drugs and food exert their reinforcing effects in part by increasing dopamine (DA) in limbic regions, which has generated interest in understanding how drug abuse/addiction relates to obesity. Here,...
