Positive association between cerebral grey matter metabolism and dopamine D <sub>2</sub> /D <sub>3</sub> receptor availability in healthy and schizophrenia subjects: An <sup>18</sup> F-fluorodeoxyglucose and <sup>18</sup> F-fallypride positron emission tomography study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives: Overlapping decreases in extrastriatal dopamine D2/D3-receptor availability and glucose metabolism have been reported in subjects with schizophrenia. It remains unknown whether these findings are physiologically related or coincidental.Methods: To ascertain this, we used two consecutive 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 18F-fallypride positron emission tomography scans in 19 healthy and 25 unmedicated schizophrenia subjects. Matrices of correlations between 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and 18F-fallypride binding in voxels at the same xyz location and AFNI-generated regions of interest were evaluated in both diagnostic groups.Results: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and 18F-fallypride binding potential were predominantly positively correlated across the striatal and extrastriatal grey matter in both healthy and schizophrenia subjects. In comparison to healthy subjects, significantly weaker correlations in subjects with schizophrenia were confirmed in the right cingulate gyrus and thalamus, including the mediodorsal, lateral dorsal, anterior, and midline nuclei. Schizophrenia subjects showed decreased D2/D3-receptor availability in the hypothalamus, mamillary bodies, thalamus and several thalamic nuclei, and increased glucose uptake in three lobules of the cerebellar vermis.Conclusions: Dopaminergic system may be involved in modulation of grey matter metabolism and neurometabolic coupling in both healthy human brain and psychopathology. Hyperdopaminergic state in untreated schizophrenia may at least partly account for the corresponding decreases in grey matter metabolism.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
