PET-sonography combination highlights memory differences in schizophrenics

By Tracie L. Thompson

Using a "truly simultaneous" combination of functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD) sonography and H215O PET imaging, German researchers have identified differences in cerebral function that address the working-memory impairment experienced by schizophrenics.
