Copper-62-ATSM: a new hypoxia imaging agent with high membrane permeability and low redox potential

Y Fujibayashi, H Taniuchi, Y Yonekura… - The Journal of …, 1997 - search.proquest.com
An ideal hypoxia imaging agent should have high membrane permeability for easy access
to intracellular mitochondria and low redox potential to confer stability in normal tissue, but it …

Both primary motor cortex and supplementary motor area play an important role in complex finger movement

H Shibasaki, N Sadato, H Lyshkow, Y Yonekura… - Brain, 1993 - academic.oup.com
In order to clarify the roles played by the primary motor cortex and the supplementary motor
area in the execution of complex sequential and simple repetitive finger movements, …

Attention to emotion modulates fMRI activity in human right superior temporal sulcus

…, T Okada, N Sadato, K Fukui, Y Yonekura - Cognitive Brain …, 2001 - Elsevier
A parallel neural network has been proposed for processing various types of information
conveyed by faces including emotion. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we …

Critical period for cross-modal plasticity in blind humans: a functional MRI study

N Sadato, T Okada, M Honda, Y Yonekura - Neuroimage, 2002 - Elsevier
The primary visual cortex (V1) in congenitally blind humans has been shown to be involved
in tactile discrimination tasks, indicating that there is a shift in function of this area of cortex, …

11C-acetate PET imaging of prostate cancer

…, Y Suzuki, S Muramoto, Y Yonekura… - Journal of Nuclear …, 2002 - Soc Nuclear Med
11 C-Acetate can act as a probe of tissue metabolism through entry into catabolic or anabolic
metabolic pathways as mediated by acetyl–coenzyme A. The uptake of 11 C-acetate in …

Role of the supplementary motor area and the right premotor cortex in the coordination of bimanual finger movements

N Sadato, Y Yonekura, A Waki… - Journal of …, 1997 - Soc Neuroscience
To obtain a better understanding of the cortical representation of bimanual coordination, we
measured regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) with 15 O-labeled water and positron …

…, Y Magata, S Sasayama, Y Yonekura… - Journal of Nuclear …, 1995 - Soc Nuclear Med
The present study was designed to assess glucose metabolism in hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC)
with PET and [18Flfluoro deoxyglucose (FDG) and to compare the results withthe …

Internally simulated movement sensations during motor imagery activate cortical motor areas and the cerebellum

…, S Nakamura, M Matsumura, Y Yonekura… - Journal of …, 2002 - Soc Neuroscience
It has been proposed that motor imagery contains an element of sensory experiences (kinesthetic
sensations), which is a substitute for the sensory feedback that would normally arise …

Brain structures related to active and passive finger movements in man

…, S Yazawa, T Hanakawa, H Fukuyama, Y Yonekura… - Brain, 1999 - academic.oup.com
A PET study was performed in six normal volunteers to elucidate the functional localization
of the sensory afferent component during finger movement. Brain activation during the …
