Model of Neurotransmitter PET (ntPET)

Overview

The changes of endogenous neurotransmitter by PET scanning after a stimulus has been proved with different approaches. In stead of detecting the increase or decrease of neurotransmitter, it is important to characterize the temporal change of a neurotransmitter after a stimuli. Morris

Here we present a general model of ntPET, which can be simplified to Morris' model.

Generally, there are two separate PET scans: rest condition (without any stimuli) and activation conditon (after a stimulus)

Implementing the Compartment Model

Create a new model for ntPET
