Abstract
Two complimentary techniques were used to estimate occupancy of pimavanserin (a selective 5-HT2A/2C inverse agonist) to 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors in non-human primate brains. One employed the 5-HT2A/2C selective radioligand [11C]CIMBI-36 combined with quantification of binding potentials in brain regions known to be enriched in 5-HT2A (cortex) or 5-HT2C (choroid plexus) receptors to estimate occupancy. Pimavanserin was 6-10 fold more potent displacing [11C]CIMBI-36 from cortex (ED50 = 0.007 mg/kg; EC50 = 0.6 ng/ml) than from choroid plexus (ED50 =0.046 mg/kg; EC50 = 6.0 ng/ml). The assignment of [11C]CIMBI-36 binding to 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors by anatomical brain structure was confirmed using the 5-HT2A selective inverse agonist MDL 100,907 and the 5-HT2C selective antagonist SB 242584 to displace [11C]CIMBI-36. The second technique employed a novel, 5-HT2C selective tracer called [11C]AC1332. [11C]AC1332 bound robustly to choroid plexus, moderately to hippocampus, and minimally to cortex. Pimavanserin displaced [11C]AC1332 with similar potency (ED50 = 0.062 mg/kg; EC50 = 2.5 ng/ml) as its potency displacing [11C]CIMBI-36 binding from choroid plexus. These results demonstrate the feasibility of simultaneously estimating drug occupancy of 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors in vivo, and the utility of a novel 5-HT2C receptor selective tracer ligand.

Abstract
Investigating cerebral asymmetries in non-human primates would facilitate to understand the evolutional traits of the human brain specialization related to language and other high-level cognition. However, brain asymmetrical studies of monkeys produced controversial results. Here, we investigated the cerebral asymmetries using a combination of the optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) protocols in monkeys. The study-specific MRI and DTI-based templates were created in 66 adult Macaca fascicularis, and the asymmetrical index of grey and white matter was subsequently examined. The VBM analysis detected the well-known frontal and occipital petalias and confirmed the presence of leftward asymmetry in the ventral frontal cortex. A marked leftward asymmetry of anterior superior temporal gyrus but not posterior portion were found. We also identified grey matter asymmetries in some regions that were not previously reported including rightward anterior cingulate, insular cortex and thalamus, and leftward caudate. In contrast, the results of TBSS analysis for the first time revealed the robust leftwards asymmetries of corpus callosum (splenium and body), internal/external capsule, and white matter in middle temporal gyrus, adjacent thalamus and amygdala whereas the rightwards in uncinate fasciculus, posterior thalamic radiation and cerebral peduncle. These findings provide robust evidence of grey and white matter asymmetries in the brain of monkeys, which may extend the understanding of brain evolution in cerebral specialization.

SB-258585 reduces food motivation while blocking 5-HT 6 receptors in the non-human primate striatum. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2024; 131:110970. [PMID: 38354894 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2024.110970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
The interest in new 5-HT₆ agents stems from their ability to modulate cognition processing, food motivation and anxiety-like behaviors. While these findings come primarily from rodent studies, no studies on primates have been published. Furthermore, our understanding of where and how they act in the brain remains limited. Although the striatum is involved in all of these processes and expresses the highest levels of 5-HT₆ receptors, few studies have focused on it. We thus hypothesized that 5-HT6 receptor blockade would influence food motivation and modulate behavioral expression in non-human primates through striatal 5-HT6 receptors. This study thus aimed to determine the effects of acute administration of the SB-258585 selective 5-HT6 receptor antagonist on the feeding motivation and behaviors of six male macaques. Additionally, we investigated potential 5-HT6 targets using PET imaging to measure 5-HT6 receptor occupancy throughout the brain and striatal subregions. We used a food-choice task paired with spontaneous behavioral observations, checking 5-HT6 receptor occupancy with the specific PET imaging [18F]2FNQ1P radioligand. We demonstrated, for the first time in non-human primates, that modulation of 5-HT6 transmission, most likely through the striatum (the putamen and caudate nucleus), significantly reduces food motivation while exhibiting variable, weaker effects on behavior. While these results are consistent with the literature showing a decrease in food intake in rodents and proposing that 5-HT6 receptor antagonists can be used in obesity treatment, they question the antagonists' anxiolytic potential.

Abstract
Alterations of serotonin type 4 receptor levels are linked to mood disorders and cognitive deficits in several conditions. However, few studies have investigated 5-HT4R alterations in movement disorders. We wondered whether striatal 5-HT4R expression is altered in experimental parkinsonism. We used a brain bank tissue from a rat and a macaque model of Parkinson's disease (PD). We then investigated its in vivo PET imaging regulation in a cohort of macaques. Dopaminergic depletion increases striatal 5-HT4R in the two models, further augmented after dyskinesia-inducing L-Dopa. Pending confirmation in PD patients, the 5-HT4R might offer a therapeutic target for dampening PD's symptoms.

Abstract
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiate into specialized cells, including midbrain dopaminergic neurons (DANs), and Non-human primates (NHPs) injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine develop some alterations observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Here, we obtained well-characterized DANs from hESCs and transplanted them into two parkinsonian monkeys to assess their behavioral and imaging changes. DANs from hESCs expressed dopaminergic markers, generated action potentials, and released dopamine (DA) in vitro. These neurons were transplanted bilaterally into the putamen of parkinsonian NHPs, and using magnetic resonance imaging techniques, we calculated the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD), both employed for the first time for these purposes, to detect in vivo axonal and cellular density changes in the brain. Likewise, positron-emission tomography scans were performed to evaluate grafted DANs. Histological analyses identified grafted DANs, which were quantified stereologically. After grafting, animals showed signs of partially improved motor behavior in some of the HALLWAY motor tasks. Improvement in motor evaluations was inversely correlated with increases in bilateral FA. MD did not correlate with behavior but presented a negative correlation with FA. We also found higher 11C-DTBZ binding in positron-emission tomography scans associated with grafts. Higher DA levels measured by microdialysis after stimulation with a high-potassium solution or amphetamine were present in grafted animals after ten months, which has not been previously reported. Postmortem analysis of NHP brains showed that transplanted DANs survived in the putamen long-term, without developing tumors, in immunosuppressed animals. Although these results need to be confirmed with larger groups of NHPs, our molecular, behavioral, biochemical, and imaging findings support the integration and survival of human DANs in this pre-clinical PD model.

Abstract
Reperfusion therapies in acute ischemic stroke have demonstrated their efficacy in promoting clinical recovery. However, ischemia/reperfusion injury and related inflammation remain a major challenge in patient clinical management. We evaluated the spatio-temporal evolution of inflammation using sequential clinical [11C]PK11195 PET-MRI in a non-human primate (NHP) stroke model mimicking endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) with a neuroprotective cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment. The NHP underwent a 110-min transient endovascular middle cerebral artery occlusion. We acquired [11C]PK11195 dynamic PET-MR imaging at baseline, 7 and 30 days after intervention. Individual voxel-wise analysis was performed thanks to a baseline scan database. We quantified [11C]PK11195 in anatomical regions and in lesioned areas defined on per-occlusion MR diffusion-weighted imaging and perfusion [15O2]H2OPET imaging. [11C]PK11195 parametric maps showed a clear uptake overlapping the lesion core at D7, which further increased at D30. Voxel-wise analysis identified individuals with significant inflammation at D30, with voxels located within the most severe diffusion reduction area during occlusion, mainly in the putamen. The quantitative analysis revealed that thalamic inflammation lasted until D30 and was significantly reduced in the CsA-treated group compared to the placebo. In conclusion, we showed that chronic inflammation matched ADC decrease at occlusion time, a region exposed to an initial burst of damage-associated molecular patterns, in an NHP stroke model mimicking EVT. We described secondary thalamic inflammation and the protective effect of CsA in this region. We propose that major ADC drop in the putamen during occlusion may identify individuals who could benefit from early personalized treatment targeting inflammation.

[PMID: 36418860 PMCID: PMC9684112 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-022-01026-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Multi-modal imaging is essential for advancing our understanding of brain function and unraveling pathophysiological processes underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders. Magnetic resonance (MR) and optoacoustic (OA) imaging have been shown to provide highly complementary contrasts and capabilities for preclinical neuroimaging. True integration between these modalities can thus offer unprecedented capabilities for studying the rodent brain in action. We report on a hybrid magnetic resonance and optoacoustic tomography (MROT) system for concurrent noninvasive structural and functional imaging of the mouse brain. Volumetric OA tomography was designed as an insert into a high-field MR scanner by integrating a customized MR-compatible spherical transducer array, an illumination module, and a dedicated radiofrequency coil. A tailored data processing pipeline has been developed to mitigate signal crosstalk and accurately register image volumes acquired with T1-weighted, angiography, and blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sequences onto the corresponding vascular and oxygenation data recorded with the OA modality. We demonstrate the concurrent acquisition of dual-mode anatomical and angiographic brain images with the scanner, as well as real-time functional readings of multiple hemodynamic parameters from animals subjected to oxygenation stress. Our approach combines the functional and molecular imaging advantages of OA with the superb soft-tissue contrast of MR, further providing an excellent platform for cross-validation of functional readings by the two modalities.

Neuroinformatics 2022; 20:613-626. [PMID: 34523062 DOI: 10.1007/s12021-021-09545-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The growing number of neuroimaging studies of cynomolgus macaques require extending existing templates to facilitate species-specific application of voxel-wise neuroimaging methodologies. This study aimed to create population-averaged structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) templates for the cynomolgus macaques and apply the templates in fully automated voxel-wise analyses. We presented the development of symmetric and asymmetric MRI and DTI templates from a sample of 63 young male cynomolgus monkeys with the use of optimized template creation approaches. We also generated the associated average tissue probability maps and Diffeomorphic Anatomical Registration using Exponentiated Lie Algebra templates for use with the Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM), as well as the average fractional anisotropy/skeleton targets for incorporation into tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) framework. Both asymmetric and symmetric templates in a standardized coordinate space demonstrated low bias and high contrast. Fully automated processing using SPM was accomplished for all native MRI datasets and demonstrated outstanding performance regarding skull-stripping, segmentation, and normalization when using the MRI templates. Automated normalization to the DTI template was excellently achieved for all native DTI images using the TBSS pipeline. The cynomolgus MRI and DTI templates are anticipated to provide a common platform for precise single-subject data analysis and facilitate comparison of neuroimaging findings in cynomolgus monkeys across studies and sites. It is also hoped that the procedures of template creation and fully-automated voxel-wise frameworks will provide a straightforward avenue for investigating brain function, development, and neuro-psychopathological disorders in non-human primate models.

Performance evaluation of the IRIS XL-220 PET/CT system, a new camera dedicated to non-human primates. EJNMMI Phys 2022; 9:10. [PMID: 35122556 PMCID: PMC8818072 DOI: 10.1186/s40658-022-00440-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-human primates (NHP) are critical in biomedical research to better understand the pathophysiology of diseases and develop new therapies. Based on its translational and longitudinal abilities along with its non-invasiveness, PET/CT systems dedicated to non-human primates can play an important role for future discoveries in medical research. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a new PET/CT system dedicated to NHP imaging, the IRIS XL-220 developed by Inviscan SAS. This was performed based on the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) NU 4-2008 standard recommendations (NEMA) to characterize the spatial resolution, the scatter fraction, the sensitivity, the count rate, and the image quality of the system. Besides, the system was evaluated in real conditions with two NHP with 18F-FDG and (-)-[18F]FEOBV which targets the vesicular acetylcholine transporter, and one rat using 18F-FDG. RESULTS The full width at half maximum obtained with the 3D OSEM algorithm ranged between 0.89 and 2.11 mm in the field of view. Maximum sensitivity in the 400-620 keV and 250-750 keV energy windows were 2.37% (22 cps/kBq) and 2.81% (25 cps/kBq), respectively. The maximum noise equivalent count rate (NEC) for a rat phantom was 82 kcps at 75 MBq and 88 kcps at 75 MBq for energy window of 250-750 and 400-620 keV, respectively. For the monkey phantom, the maximum NEC was 18 kcps at 126 MBq and 19 kcps at 126 MBq for energy window of 250-750 and 400-620 keV, respectively. The IRIS XL provided an excellent quality of images in non-human primates and rats using 18F-FDG. The images acquired using (-)-[18F]FEOBV were consistent with those previously reported in non-human primates. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results showed that the IRIS XL-220 is a high-resolution system well suited for PET/CT imaging in non-human primates.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor treatment retunes emotional valence in primate ventral striatum. Neuropsychopharmacology 2021; 46:2073-2082.

Abstract
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used to treat psychiatric disorders with affective biases such as depression and anxiety. How SSRIs exert a beneficial action on emotions associated with life events is still unknown. Here we ask whether and how the effectiveness of the SSRI fluoxetine is underpinned by neural mechanisms in the ventral striatum. To address these issues, we studied the spiking activity of neurons in the ventral striatum of monkeys during an approach-avoidance task in which the valence assigned to sensory stimuli was manipulated. Neural responses to positive and negative events were measured before and during a 4-week treatment with fluoxetine. We conducted PET scans to confirm that fluoxetine binds within the ventral striatum at a therapeutic dose. In our monkeys, fluoxetine facilitated approach of rewards and avoidance of punishments. These beneficial effects were associated with changes in tonic and phasic activities of striatal neurons. Fluoxetine increased the spontaneous firing rate of striatal neurons and amplified the number of cells responding to rewards versus punishments, reflecting a drug-induced positive shift in the processing of emotionally valenced information. These findings reveal how SSRI treatment affects ventral striatum neurons encoding positive and negative valence and striatal signaling of emotional information. In addition to a key role in appetitive processing, our results shed light on the involvement of the ventral striatum in aversive processing. Together, the ventral striatum appears to play a central role in the action of SSRIs on emotion processing biases commonly observed in psychiatric disorders.

Learning U-Net Based Multi-Scale Features in Encoding-Decoding for MR Image Brain Tissue Segmentation. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21093232.

Abstract
Accurate brain tissue segmentation of MRI is vital to diagnosis aiding, treatment planning, and neurologic condition monitoring. As an excellent convolutional neural network (CNN), U-Net is widely used in MR image segmentation as it usually generates high-precision features. However, the performance of U-Net is considerably restricted due to the variable shapes of the segmented targets in MRI and the information loss of down-sampling and up-sampling operations. Therefore, we propose a novel network by introducing spatial and channel dimensions-based multi-scale feature information extractors into its encoding-decoding framework, which is helpful in extracting rich multi-scale features while highlighting the details of higher-level features in the encoding part, and recovering the corresponding localization to a higher resolution layer in the decoding part. Concretely, we propose two information extractors, multi-branch pooling, called MP, in the encoding part, and multi-branch dense prediction, called MDP, in the decoding part, to extract multi-scale features. Additionally, we designed a new multi-branch output structure with MDP in the decoding part to form more accurate edge-preserving predicting maps by integrating the dense adjacent prediction features at different scales. Finally, the proposed method is tested on datasets MRbrainS13, IBSR18, and ISeg2017. We find that the proposed network performs higher accuracy in segmenting MRI brain tissues and it is better than the leading method of 2018 at the segmentation of GM and CSF. Therefore, it can be a useful tool for diagnostic applications, such as brain MRI segmentation and diagnosing.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease, inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular acute events. A role of neuroinflammation is suspected, but not yet investigated in the gyrencephalic brain and the related activity at blood−brain interfaces is unknown. A non-human primate model of advanced atherosclerosis was first established using longitudinal blood samples, multimodal imaging and gene analysis in aged animals. Non-human primate carotid lesions were compared with human carotid endarterectomy samples. During the whole-body imaging session, imaging of neuroinflammation and choroid plexus function was performed. Advanced plaques were present in multiple sites, premature deaths occurred and downstream lesions (myocardial fibrosis, lacunar stroke) were present in this model. Vascular lesions were similar to in humans: high plaque activity on PET and MRI imaging and systemic inflammation (high plasma C-reactive protein levels: 42 ± 14 µg/ml). We also found the same gene association (metabolic, inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers) as in patients with similar histological features. Metabolic imaging localized abnormal brain glucose metabolism in the frontal cortex. It corresponded to cortical neuro-inflammation (PET imaging) that correlated with C-reactive protein level. Multimodal imaging also revealed pronounced choroid plexus function impairment in aging atherosclerotic non-human primates. In conclusion, multimodal whole-body inflammation exploration at the vascular level and blood−brain interfaces identified high-risk aging atherosclerosis. These results open the way for systemic and central inflammation targeting in atherosclerosis in the new era of immunotherapy.

The pharmacokinetics of [ 18F]UCB-H revisited in the healthy non-human primate brain. EJNMMI Res 2021; 11:36. [PMID: 33826008 PMCID: PMC8026785 DOI: 10.1186/s13550-021-00777-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the Synaptic Vesicle glycoprotein (SV) 2A is a new tool to quantify synaptic density. [18F]UCB-H was one of the first promising SV2A-ligands to be labelled and used in vivo in rodent and human, while limited information on its pharmacokinetic properties is available in the non-human primate. Here, we evaluate the reliability of the three most commonly used modelling approaches for [18F]UCB-H in the non-human cynomolgus primate, adding the coupled fit of the non-displaceable distribution volume (VND) as an alternative approach to improve unstable fit. The results are discussed in the light of the current state of SV2A PET ligands. Results [18F]UCB-H pharmacokinetic data was optimally fitted with a two-compartment model (2TCM), although the model did not always converge (large total volume of distribution (VT) or large uncertainty of the estimate). 2TCM with coupled fit K1/k2 across brain regions stabilized the quantification, and confirmed a lower specific signal of [18F]UCB-H compared to the newest SV2A-ligands. However, the measures of VND and the influx parameter (K1) are similar to what has been reported for other SV2A ligands. These data were reinforced by displacement studies using [19F]UCB-H, demonstrating only 50% displacement of the total [18F]UCB-H signal at maximal occupancy of SV2A. As previously demonstrated in clinical studies, the graphical method of Logan provided a more robust estimate of VT with only a small bias compared to 2TCM. Conclusions Modeling issues with a 2TCM due to a slow component have previously been reported for other SV2A ligands with low specific binding, or after blocking of specific binding. As all SV2A ligands share chemical structural similarities, we hypothesize that this slow binding component is common for all SV2A ligands, but only hampers quantification when specific binding is low.

Abstract
Stroke is a devastating disease. Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy is dramatically changing the management of acute ischemic stroke, raising new challenges regarding brain outcome and opening up new avenues for brain protection. In this context, relevant experiment models are required for testing new therapies and addressing important questions about infarct progression despite successful recanalization, reversibility of ischemic lesions, blood-brain barrier disruption and reperfusion damage. Here, we developed a minimally invasive non-human primate model of cerebral ischemia (Macaca fascicularis) based on an endovascular transient occlusion and recanalization of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). We evaluated per-occlusion and post-recanalization impairment on PET-MRI, in addition to acute and chronic neuro-functional assessment. Voxel-based analyses between per-occlusion PET-MRI and day-7 MRI showed two different patterns of lesion evolution: "symptomatic salvaged tissue" (SST) and "asymptomatic infarcted tissue" (AIT). Extended SST was present in all cases. AIT, remote from the area at risk, represented 45% of the final lesion. This model also expresses both worsening of fine motor skills and dysexecutive behavior over the chronic post-stroke period, a result in agreement with cortical-subcortical lesions. We thus fully characterized an original translational model of ischemia-reperfusion damage after stroke, with consistent ischemia time, and thrombus retrieval for effective recanalization.

Understanding Exposure-Receptor Occupancy Relationships for Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Negative Allosteric Modulators across a Range of Preclinical and Clinical Studies. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2021; 377:157-168. [PMID: 33541889 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.120.000371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) is a recognized central nervous system therapeutic target for which several negative allosteric modulator (NAM) drug candidates have or are continuing to be investigated for various disease indications in clinical development. Direct measurement of target receptor occupancy (RO) is extremely useful to help design and interpret efficacy and safety in nonclinical and clinical studies. In the mGlu5 field, this has been successfully achieved by monitoring displacement of radiolabeled ligands, specifically binding to the mGlu5 receptor, in the presence of an mGlu5 NAM using in vivo and ex vivo binding in rodents and positron emission tomography imaging in cynomolgus monkeys and humans. The aim of this study was to measure the RO of the mGlu5 NAM HTL0014242 in rodents and cynomolgus monkeys and to compare its plasma and brain exposure-RO relationships with those of clinically tested mGlu5 NAMs dipraglurant, mavoglurant, and basimglurant. Potential sources of variability that may contribute to these relationships were explored. Distinct plasma exposure-response relationships were found for each mGlu5 NAM, with >100-fold difference in plasma exposure for a given level of RO. However, a unified exposure-response relationship was observed when both unbound brain concentration and mGlu5 affinity were considered. This relationship showed <10-fold overall difference, was fitted with a Hill slope that was not significantly different from 1, and appeared consistent with a simple Emax model. This is the first time this type of comparison has been conducted, demonstrating a unified brain exposure-RO relationship across several species and mGlu5 NAMs with diverse properties. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Despite the long history of mGlu5 as a therapeutic target and progression of multiple compounds to the clinic, no formal comparison of exposure-receptor occupancy relationships has been conducted. The data from this study indicate for the first time that a consistent, unified relationship can be observed between exposure and mGlu5 receptor occupancy when unbound brain concentration and receptor affinity are taken into account across a range of species for a diverse set of mGlu5 negative allosteric modulators, including a new drug candidate, HTL0014242.

Abstract
In an acute ischaemic stroke, understanding the dynamics of blood-brain barrier injury is of particular importance for the prevention of symptomatic haemorrhagic transformation. However, the available techniques assessing blood-brain barrier permeability are not quantitative and are little used in the context of acute reperfusion therapy. Nanoparticles cross the healthy or impaired blood-brain barrier through combined passive and active processes. Imaging and quantifying their transfer rate could better characterize blood-brain barrier damage and refine the delivery of neuroprotective agents. We previously developed an original endovascular stroke model of acute ischaemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy followed by positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging. Cerebral capillary permeability was quantified for two molecule sizes: small clinical gadolinium Gd-DOTA (<1 nm) and AGuIX® nanoparticles (∼5 nm) used for brain theranostics. On dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, the baseline transfer constant K trans was 0.94 [0.48, 1.72] and 0.16 [0.08, 0.33] ×10-3 min-1, respectively, in the normal brain parenchyma, consistent with their respective sizes, and 1.90 [1.23, 3.95] and 2.86 [1.39, 4.52] ×10-3 min-1 in choroid plexus, confirming higher permeability than brain parenchyma. At early reperfusion, K trans for both Gd-DOTA and AGuIX® nanoparticles was significantly higher within the ischaemic area compared to the contralateral hemisphere; 2.23 [1.17, 4.13] and 0.82 [0.46, 1.87] ×10-3 min-1 for Gd-DOTA and AGuIX® nanoparticles, respectively. With AGuIX® nanoparticles, K trans also increased within the ischaemic growth areas, suggesting added value for AGuIX®. Finally, K trans was significantly lower in both the lesion and the choroid plexus in a drug-treated group (ciclosporin A, n = 7) compared to placebo (n = 5). K trans quantification with AGuIX® nanoparticles can monitor early blood-brain barrier damage and treatment effect in ischaemic stroke after reperfusion.

Development and In Vivo Preclinical Imaging of Fluorine-18-Labeled Synaptic Vesicle Protein 2A (SV2A) PET Tracers. Mol Imaging Biol 2020; 21:509-518.

Abstract
PURPOSE Synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) serves as a biomarker of synaptic density and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of SV2A could provide a tool to assess progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Two tracers have primarily been reported and characterized in vivo: [11C]UCB-J and [18F]UCB-H. In early human studies, [11C]UCB-J showed promising results, while its F-18-labeled analogue [18F]UCB-H showed suboptimal specific signal in comparison to [11C]UCB-J. Considering the limited use of [11C]UCB-J to facilities with a cyclotron, having a F-18 variant would facilitate large, multicenter imaging trials. We have screened several F-18 derivatives of UCB-J in non-human primates and identified a promising F-18 PET candidate, [18F]MNI-1126, with additional investigations of the racemate [18F]MNI-1038, affording a signal comparable to [11C]UCB-J. PROCEDURES F-18 derivatives of UCB-J and UCB-H were synthesized and administered to non-human primates for microPET imaging. Following screenings, [18F]MNI-1038 (racemate) and [18F]MNI-1126 (R-enantiomer) were identified with the highest signal and favorable kinetics and were selected for further imaging. Kinetic modeling with one- and two-tissue compartmental models, and linear methods were applied to PET data using metabolite-corrected arterial input function. Pre-block scans with levetiracetam (LEV, 10, 30 mg/kg, iv) were performed to determine the tracers' in vivo specificity for SV2A. Two whole-body PET studies were performed with [18F]MNI-1038 in one male and one female rhesus, and radiation absorbed dose estimates and effective dose (ED, ICRP-103) were estimated with OLINDA/EXM 2.0. RESULTS All compounds screened displayed very good brain penetration, with a plasma-free fraction of ~ 40 %. [18F]MNI-1126 and [18F]MNI-1038 showed uptake and distribution the most consistent with UCB-J, while the other derivatives showed suboptimal results, with similar or lower uptake than [18F]UCB-H. VT of [18F]MNI-1126 and [18F]MNI-1038 was high in all gray matter regions (within animal averages ~ 30 ml/cm3) and highly correlated with [11C]UCB-J (r > 0.99). Pre-blocking of [18F]MNI-1126 or [18F]MNI-1038 with LEV showed robust occupancy across all gray matter regions, similar to that reported with [11C]UCB-J (~ 85 % at 30 mg/kg, ~ 65 % at 10 mg/kg). Using the centrum semiovale as a reference region, BPND of [18F]MNI-1126 reached values of up to ~ 30 to 40 % higher than those reported for [11C]UCB-J. From whole-body imaging average ED of [18F]MNI-1038 was estimated to be 22.3 μSv/MBq, with tracer being eliminated via both urinary and hepatobiliary pathways. CONCLUSIONS We have identified a F-18-labeled tracer ([18F]MNI-1126) that exhibits comparable in vivo characteristics and specificity for SV2A to [11C]UCB-J in non-human primates, which makes [18F]MNI-1126 a promising PET radiotracer for imaging SV2A in human trials.

Abstract
Non-human primate models are widely used in studying the brain mechanism underlying brain development, cognitive functions, and psychiatric disorders. Neuroimaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging, play an important role in the examinations of brain structure and functions. As an indispensable tool for brain imaging data analysis, brain atlases have been extensively investigated, and a variety of versions constructed. These atlases diverge in the criteria based on which they are plotted. The criteria range from cytoarchitectonic features, neurotransmitter receptor distributions, myelination fingerprints, and transcriptomic patterns to structural and functional connectomic profiles. Among them, brainnetome atlas is tightly related to brain connectome information and built by parcellating the brain on the basis of the anatomical connectivity profiles derived from structural neuroimaging data. The pipeline for building the brainnetome atlas has been published as a toolbox named ATPP (A Pipeline for Automatic Tractography-Based Brain Parcellation). In this paper, we present a variation of ATPP, which is dedicated to monkey brain parcellation, to address the significant differences in the process between the two species. The new toolbox, MonkeyCBP, has major alterations in three aspects: brain extraction, image registration, and validity indices. By parcellating two different brain regions (posterior cingulate cortex) and (frontal pole) of the rhesus monkey, we demonstrate the efficacy of these alterations. The toolbox has been made public (https://github.com/bheAI/MonkeyCBP_CLI, https://github.com/bheAI/MonkeyCBP_GUI). It is expected that the toolbox can benefit the non-human primate neuroimaging community with high-throughput computation and low labor involvement.

Abstract
Study of interactions between the nervous system and immunity offers insights into the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and potential therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases. Studies on rodents have revealed regulatory mechanisms of microglial activation and T lymphocyte recruitment in PD. However, the mechanisms underlying chronic T lymphocyte infiltration into the brain after 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) injection into a non-human primate (NHP) model of PD remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate changes in serum RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expression and secretion) and analyze the chronic infiltration of T lymphocytes into the brain and microglia activation in NHPs at 48 weeks post-MPTP administration. We found selective and local chronic infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, loss of dopaminergic neurons, dopamine transporter expression, chronic normalization of RANTES in the peripheral blood, and altered microglial morphology at 48 weeks after MPTP injection. This study confirms the involvement of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte infiltration in MPTP-induced NHP models of PD. Additionally, we corroborated previous findings regarding the mechanisms of T lymphocyte-induced neurodegeneration. The findings of chronic infiltration of T lymphocytes in our NHP model of PD provide novel insights into PD pathogenesis and the development of preventive and therapeutic agents.

Ventral striatum supports Methylphenidate therapeutic effects on impulsive choices expressed in temporal discounting task. Sci Rep 2020; 10:716.

Abstract
Methylphenidate (MPH) is a dopamine transporter (DAT) inhibitor used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD). ADHD patients make impulsive choices in delay discounting tasks (DDT) and MPH reduces such impulsivity, but its therapeutic site of action remains unknown. Based on the high density of DAT in the striatum, we hypothesized that the striatum, especially the ventral striatum (VS) and caudate nucleus which both encode temporal discounting, can be preferential MPH action sites. To determine whether one of these striatal territories is predominantly involved in the effect of MPH, we trained monkeys to make choices during DDT. First, consistent with clinical observations, we found an overall reduction of impulsive choices with a low dose of MPH administered via intramuscular injections, whereas we reported sedative-like effects with a higher dose. Then, using PET-imaging, we found that the therapeutic reduction of impulsive choices was associated with selective DAT occupancy of MPH in the VS. Finally, we confirmed the selective involvement of the VS in the effect of MPH by testing the animals’ impulsivity with microinjections of the drug in distinct striatal territories. Together, these results show that the therapeutic effect of MPH on impulsive decisions is mainly restricted to its action in the VS.

Abstract
To aid in the analysis of rhesus macaque brain images, we aligned digitized anatomical regions from the widely used atlas of Paxinos et al. to a published magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) template based on a large number of subjects. Digitally labelled atlas images were aligned to the template in 2D and then in 3D. The resulting grey matter regions appear qualitatively to be well registered to the template. To quantitatively validate the procedure, MR brain images of 20 rhesus macaques were aligned to the template along with regions drawn by hand in striatal and cortical areas in each subject's MRI. There was good geometric overlap between the hand drawn regions and the template regions. Positron emission tomography (PET) images of the same subjects showing uptake of a dopamine D2 receptor ligand were aligned to the template space, and good agreement was found between tracer binding measures calculated using the hand drawn and template regions. In conclusion, an anatomically defined set of rhesus macaque brain regions has been aligned to an MRI template and has been validated for analysis of PET imaging in a subset of striatal and cortical areas. The entire set of over 200 regions is publicly available at https://www.nitrc.org/ . Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

A non-human primate model for stable chronic Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP administration based on individual behavioral quantification. J Neurosci Methods 2018; 311:277-287.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The guidelines for applying individual adjustments to macaques according to the severity of behavioral symptoms during 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) treatment were provided to reproduce stable chronic Parkinsonism in a recent study (Potts et al., 2014). But, since there are insufficient guidelines regarding objective severity criteria of individual symptoms for adjustments of MPTP treatment, it is difficult to develop MPTP-induced chronic non-human primate (NHP) models with stable symptoms. NEW METHOD The individual adjustments of MPTP administration based on results of automatic quantification of global activity (GA) using a video-based tracking system were applied to develop MPTP-PD model. Low-dose (0.2 mg/kg) intramuscular injection was repeated continuously until GA was lower than 8% of baseline Parkinsonian behavior scores. The positron emission tomography imaging were used to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease (PD). RESULTS Significant reductions in GA and dopamine transporter activity, along with significant increases in Parkinsonian behavior scores were found from 4 to 48 weeks following the first administration. GA was correlated with the Parkinsonian behavior score. The dopamine transporter activity was correlated with GA and the Parkinsonian behavior score. However, it was not correlated with the total dose of MPTP. Damage of dopaminergic neuronal systems in the basal ganglia was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD This study reinforces previous guidelines regarding production of NHP models with stable Parkinsonian symptoms. CONCLUSIONS This novel strategy of MPTP administration based on global activity evaluations provides an important conceptual advance for the development of chronic NHP Parkinsonian models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tree shrews are proposed as an alternative animal model to nonhuman primates due to their close affinity to primates. Neuroimaging techniques are widely used to study brain functions and structures of humans and animals. However, tree shrews are rarely applied in neuroimaging field partly due to the lack of available species specific analysis methods. NEW METHOD In this study, 10 PET/CT and 10 MRI images of tree shrew brain were used to construct PET and MRI templates; based on histological atlas we reconstructed a three-dimensional digital atlas with 628 structures delineated; then the digital atlas and templates were aligned into a stereotaxic space. Finally, we integrated the digital atlas and templates into a toolbox for tree shrew brain spatial normalization, statistical analysis and results localization. RESULTS We validated the feasibility of the toolbox by simulated data with lesions in laterodorsal thalamic nucleus (LD). The lesion volumes of simulated PET and MRI images were (12.97±3.91)mm3 and (7.04±0.84)mm3. Statistical results at p<0.005 showed the lesion volumes of PET and MRI were 13.18mm3 and 8.06mm3 in LD. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S) To our knowledge, we report the first PET template and digital atlas of tree shrew brain. Compared to the existing MRI templates, our MRI template was aligned into stereotaxic space. And the toolbox is the first software dedicated for tree shrew brain analysis. CONCLUSIONS The templates and digital atlas of tree shrew brain, as well as the toolbox, facilitate the use of tree shrews in neuroimaging field.

Abstract
Because they bridge the genetic gap between rodents and humans, non-human primates (NHPs) play a major role in therapy development and evaluation for neurological disorders. However, translational research success from NHPs to patients requires an accurate phenotyping of the models. In patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with automated segmentation methods has offered the unique opportunity to assess in vivo brain morphological changes. Meanwhile, specific challenges caused by brain size and high field contrasts make existing algorithms hard to use routinely in NHPs. To tackle this issue, we propose a complete pipeline, Primatologist, for multi-region segmentation. Tissue segmentation is based on a modular statistical model that includes random field regularization, bias correction and denoising and is optimized by expectation-maximization. To deal with the broad variety of structures with different relaxing times at 7 T, images are segmented into 17 anatomical classes, including subcortical regions. Pre-processing steps insure a good initialization of the parameters and thus the robustness of the pipeline. It is validated on 10 T2-weighted MRIs of healthy macaque brains. Classification scores are compared with those of a non-linear atlas registration, and the impact of each module on classification scores is thoroughly evaluated.

Abstract
Brain serotonin-6 receptor (5-HT6R) is the one of the most recently identified serotonin receptors. Accumulating evidence suggests that it is a potent therapeutic target for psychiatric and neurological diseases. Since [18F]2FNQ1P was recently proposed as the first fluorinated positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand for this receptor, the objective of the present study was to demonstrate its suitability for 5-HT6R neuroimaging in primates. [18F]2FNQ1P was characterized by in vitro autoradiography and in vivo PET imaging in cynomolgus monkeys. Following in vivo PET imaging, tracer binding indices were computed using the simplified reference tissue model and Logan graphical model, with cerebellum as reference region. The tracer binding reproducibility was assessed by test–retest in five animals. Finally, specificity was assessed by pre-injection of a 5-HT6R antagonist, SB258585. In vitro, results showed wide cerebral distribution of the tracer with specificity toward 5-HT6Rs as binding was effectively displaced by SB258585. In vivo brain penetration was good with reproducible distribution at cortical and subcortical levels. The automated method gave the best spatial normalization. The Logan graphical model showed the best tracer binding indices, giving the highest magnitude, lowest standard deviation and best reproducibility and robustness. Finally, 5-HT6R antagonist pre-injection significantly decreased [18F]2FNQ1P binding mainly in the striatum and sensorimotor cortex. Taken together, these preclinical results show that [18F]2FNQ1P is a good candidate to address 5-HT6 receptors in clinical studies.

Oxytocin and Serotonin Brain Mechanisms in the Nonhuman Primate. J Neurosci 2017; 37:6741-6750.

Abstract
Oxytocin (OT) is increasingly studied for its therapeutic potential in psychiatric disorders, which are associated with the deregulation of several neurotransmission systems. Studies in rodents demonstrated that the interaction between OT and serotonin (5-HT) is critical for several aspects of social behavior. Using PET scan in humans, we have recently found that 5-HT 1A receptor (5-HT1AR) function is modified after intranasal oxytocin intake. However, the underlying mechanism between OT and 5-HT remains unclear. To understand this interaction, we tested 3 male macaque monkeys using both [11C]DASB and [18F]MPPF, two PET radiotracers, marking the serotonin transporter and the 5-HT1AR, respectively. Oxytocin (1 IU in 20 μl of ACSF) or placebo was injected into the brain lateral ventricle 45 min before scans. Additionally, we performed postmortem autoradiography. Compared with placebo, OT significantly reduced [11C]DASB binding potential in right amygdala, insula, and hippocampus, whereas [18F]MPPF binding potential increased in right amygdala and insula. Autoradiography revealed that [11C]DASB was sensitive to physiological levels of 5-HT modification, and that OT does not act directly on the 5-HT1AR. Our results show that oxytocin administration in nonhuman primates influences serotoninergic neurotransmission via at least two ways: (1) by provoking a release of serotonin in key limbic regions; and (2) by increasing the availability of 5-HT1AR receptors in the same limbic areas. Because these two molecules are important for social behavior, our study sheds light on the specific nature of their interaction, therefore helping to develop new mechanisms-based therapies for psychiatric disorders.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Social behavior is largely controlled by brain neuromodulators, such as oxytocin and serotonin. While these are currently targeted in the context of psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, a new promising pharmaceutical strategy is to study the interaction between these systems. Here we depict the interplay between oxytocin and serotonin in the nonhuman primate brain. We found that oxytocin provokes the release of serotonin, which in turn impacts on the serotonin 1A receptor system, by modulating its availability. This happens in several key brain regions for social behavior, such as the amygdala and insula. This novel finding can open ways to advance treatments where drugs are combined to influence several neurotransmission networks.

Prefrontal Markers and Cognitive Performance Are Dissociated during Progressive Dopamine Lesion. PLoS Biol 2016; 14:e1002576.

Abstract
Dopamine is thought to directly influence the neurophysiological mechanisms of both performance monitoring and cognitive control-two processes that are critically linked in the production of adapted behaviour. Changing dopamine levels are also thought to induce cognitive changes in several neurological and psychiatric conditions. But the working model of this system as a whole remains untested. Specifically, although many researchers assume that changing dopamine levels modify neurophysiological mechanisms and their markers in frontal cortex, and that this in turn leads to cognitive changes, this causal chain needs to be verified. Using longitudinal recordings of frontal neurophysiological markers over many months during progressive dopaminergic lesion in non-human primates, we provide data that fail to support a simple interaction between dopamine, frontal function, and cognition. Feedback potentials, which are performance-monitoring signals sometimes thought to drive successful control, ceased to differentiate feedback valence at the end of the lesion, just before clinical motor threshold. In contrast, cognitive control performance and beta oscillatory markers of cognitive control were unimpaired by the lesion. The differing dynamics of these measures throughout a dopamine lesion suggests they are not all driven by dopamine in the same way. These dynamics also demonstrate that a complex non-linear set of mechanisms is engaged in the brain in response to a progressive dopamine lesion. These results question the direct causal chain from dopamine to frontal physiology and on to cognition. They imply that biomarkers of cognitive functions are not directly predictive of dopamine loss.

Abstract
UNLABELLED It is now widely accepted that compensatory mechanisms are involved during the early phase of Parkinson's disease (PD) to delay the expression of motor symptoms. However, the neurochemical mechanisms underlying this presymptomatic period are still unclear. Here, we measured in vivo longitudinal changes of both the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems in seven asymptomatic 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-intoxicated monkeys (when motor symptoms are less apparent) using PET. We used the progressively MPTP-intoxicated monkey model that expresses recovery from motor symptoms to study the changes in dopamine synthesis ([(18)F]DOPA), dopamine D2/D3 receptors ([(11)C]raclopride), and serotonin transporter (11)C-N,N-dimethyl-2-(-2-amino-4-cyanophenylthio) benzylamine ([(11)C]DASB) and serotonin 1A receptor ([(18)F]MPPF) levels between four different states (baseline, early symptomatic, full symptomatic and recovered). During the early symptomatic state, we observed increases of [(18)F]DOPA uptake in the anterior putamen, [(11)C]raclopride binding in the posterior striatum, and 2'-methoxyphenyl-(N-2'-pyridinyl)-p-[(18)F]fluoro-benzamidoethylpiperazine [(18)F]MPPF uptake in the orbitofrontal cortex and dorsal ACC. After recovery from motor symptoms, the results mainly showed decreased [(11)C]raclopride binding in the anterior striatum and limbic ACC. In addition, our findings supported the importance of pallidal dopaminergic neurotransmission in both the early compensatory mechanisms and the functional recovery mechanisms, with reduced aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) activity closely related to the appearance or perseveration of motor symptoms. In parallel, this study provides preliminary evidence of the role of the serotonergic system in compensatory mechanisms. Nonetheless, future studies are needed to determine whether there are changes in SERT availability in the early symptomatic state and if [(18)F]MPPF PET imaging might be a promising biomarker of early degenerative changes in PD. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The present research provides evidence of the potential of combining a multitracer PET imaging technique and a longitudinal protocol applied on a progressively 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-intoxicated monkey model to further elucidate the nature of the compensatory mechanisms involved in the preclinical period of Parkinson's disease (PD). In particular, by investigating the dopaminergic and serotonergic changes both presynaptically and postsynaptically at four different motor states (baseline, early symptomatic, full symptomatic, and recovered), this study has allowed us to identify putative biomarkers for future therapeutic interventions to prevent and/or delay disease expression. For example, our findings suggest that the external pallidum could be a new target for cell-based therapies to reduce PD symptoms.

Abstract
Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS), first introduced and popularized by the pioneering work of Rohlfing, et al. (2004), Klein, et al. (2005), and Heckemann, et al. (2006), is becoming one of the most widely-used and successful image segmentation techniques in biomedical applications. By manipulating and utilizing the entire dataset of "atlases" (training images that have been previously labeled, e.g., manually by an expert), rather than some model-based average representation, MAS has the flexibility to better capture anatomical variation, thus offering superior segmentation accuracy. This benefit, however, typically comes at a high computational cost. Recent advancements in computer hardware and image processing software have been instrumental in addressing this challenge and facilitated the wide adoption of MAS. Today, MAS has come a long way and the approach includes a wide array of sophisticated algorithms that employ ideas from machine learning, probabilistic modeling, optimization, and computer vision, among other fields. This paper presents a survey of published MAS algorithms and studies that have applied these methods to various biomedical problems. In writing this survey, we have three distinct aims. Our primary goal is to document how MAS was originally conceived, later evolved, and now relates to alternative methods. Second, this paper is intended to be a detailed reference of past research activity in MAS, which now spans over a decade (2003-2014) and entails novel methodological developments and application-specific solutions. Finally, our goal is to also present a perspective on the future of MAS, which, we believe, will be one of the dominant approaches in biomedical image segmentation.

Abstract
The sheer presence of another member of the same species affects performance, sometimes impeding it, sometimes enhancing it. For well-learned tasks, the effect is generally positive. This fundamental form of social influence, known as social facilitation, concerns human as well as nonhuman animals and affects many behaviors from food consumption to cognition. In psychology, this phenomenon has been known for over a century. Yet, its underlying mechanism (motivation or attention) remains debated, its relationship to stress unclear, and its neural substrates unknown. To address these issues, we investigated the behavioral, neuronal, and endocrinological markers of social facilitation in monkeys trained to touch images to obtain rewards. When another animal was present, performance was enhanced, but testing-induced stress (i.e., plasma cortisol elevation) was unchanged, as was metabolic activity in the brain motivation network. Rather, task-related activity in the (right) attention frontoparietal network encompassing the lateral prefrontal cortex, ventral premotor cortex, frontal eye field, and intraparietal sulcus was increased when another individual was present compared with when animals were tested alone. These results establish the very first link between the behavioral enhancement produced by the mere presence of a peer and an increase of metabolic activity in those brain structures underpinning attention.

Abstract
Parkinsonian patients experience not only the physical discomfort of motor disorders but also the considerable psychological distress caused by cognitive deficits and behavioral disorders. These two factors can result in a disruption of social relationships during the symptomatic and even the presymptomatic motor states of the disease. However, it remains difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate social relationships in presymptomatic patients. The present study focused on the evaluation of social relationships within a group of female long-tailed macaques during presymptomatic and symptomatic motor states induced by Chronic Low-Dose (CLD) and then Chronic High-Dose (CHD) systemic administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Dopaminergic denervation within basal ganglia and cortical areas was evaluated using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans with (18)F-DOPA (6-[18F]-fluoro-L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) radiotracer. Interestingly, social behavioral changes could be identified in the presymptomatic motor state before any motor and/or cognitive impairment occurred. Stronger effects were observed in subordinate animals compared to dominant animals. From baseline state to CLD-presymptomatic motor state, the frequency of emitted affiliative and aggressive behaviors increased. From CLD-presymptomatic to CHD-presymptomatic motor states, the frequency of the three categories of social behaviors (aggressive, submissive and affiliative) decreased. At this time, quantitative data analysis in PET scans highlighted a dopaminergic denervation in the insula and the posterior caudate nucleus. Finally, the frequency of the three categories of social behaviors decreased during the stable-symptomatic motor state compared to baseline and presymptomatic motor states; this was also associated with motor and cognitive disorders and a dopaminergic denervation in all the evaluated cortical and subcortical structures.

Abstract
Introduction Preclinical in vivo imaging requires precise and reproducible delineation of brain structures. Manual segmentation is time consuming and operator dependent. Automated segmentation as usually performed via single atlas registration fails to account for anatomo-physiological variability. We present, evaluate, and make available a multi-atlas approach for automatically segmenting rat brain MRI and extracting PET activies. Methods High-resolution 7T 2DT2 MR images of 12 Sprague-Dawley rat brains were manually segmented into 27-VOI label volumes using detailed protocols. Automated methods were developed with 7/12 atlas datasets, i.e. the MRIs and their associated label volumes. MRIs were registered to a common space, where an MRI template and a maximum probability atlas were created. Three automated methods were tested: 1/registering individual MRIs to the template, and using a single atlas (SA), 2/using the maximum probability atlas (MP), and 3/registering the MRIs from the multi-atlas dataset to an individual MRI, propagating the label volumes and fusing them in individual MRI space (propagation & fusion, PF). Evaluation was performed on the five remaining rats which additionally underwent [18F]FDG PET. Automated and manual segmentations were compared for morphometric performance (assessed by comparing volume bias and Dice overlap index) and functional performance (evaluated by comparing extracted PET measures). Results Only the SA method showed volume bias. Dice indices were significantly different between methods (PF>MP>SA). PET regional measures were more accurate with multi-atlas methods than with SA method. Conclusions Multi-atlas methods outperform SA for automated anatomical brain segmentation and PET measure’s extraction. They perform comparably to manual segmentation for FDG-PET quantification. Multi-atlas methods are suitable for rapid reproducible VOI analyses.

Abstract
The delayed appearance of motor symptoms in PD poses a crucial challenge for early detection of the disease. We measured the binding potential of the selective dopamine active transporter (DAT) radiotracer [(11)C]PE2I in MPTP-treated macaque monkeys, thus establishing a detailed profile of the nigrostriatal DA status following MPTP intoxication and its relation to induced motor and non-motor symptoms. Clinical score and cognitive performance were followed throughout the study. We measured longitudinally in vivo the non-displaceable binding potential to DAT in premotor, motor-recovered (i.e. both non-symptomatic) and symptomatic MPTP-treated monkeys. Results show an unexpected and pronounced dissociation between clinical scores and [(11)C]PE2I-BP(ND) during the premotor phase i.e. DAT binding in the striatum of premotor animals was increased around 20%. Importantly, this broad increase of DAT binding in the caudate, ventral striatum and anterior putamen was accompanied by i) deteriorated cognitive performance, showing a likely causal role of the observed hyperdopaminergic state (Cools, 2011; Cools and D'Esposito, 2011) and ii) an asymmetric decrease of DAT binding at a focal point of the posterior putamen, suggesting that increased DAT is one of the earliest, intrinsic compensatory mechanisms. Following spontaneous recovery from motor deficits, DAT binding was greatly reduced as recently shown in-vivo with other radiotracers (Blesa et al., 2010, 2012). Finally, high clinical scores were correlated to considerably low levels of DAT only after the induction of a stable parkinsonian state. We additionally show that the only striatal region which was significantly correlated to the degree of motor impairments is the ventral striatum. Further research on this period should allow better understanding of DA compensation at premature stages of PD and potentially identify new diagnosis and therapeutic index.
