摘要: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of brain single-photon emission tomography (SPET) in letter and category fluency paradigm Controlled Oral Word Association (COWA) test healthy volunteers. Two groups each comprising ten right-handed volunteers were injected twice with 370 MBq technetium-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer following a split-dose (resting activation condition). Statistical parametric mapping (SPM96) was used determine voxelwise significant changes. The had differential pattern. posterior part left inferior prefrontal cortex (LIPC) activated both paradigms, task having an extra anterior LIPC. In task, but not right found. These findings confirm large extent results previous functional magnetic resonance imaging positron studies semantic phonological paradigms. choice validity various methodological characteristics experimental design leading these are critically discussed. It is concluded that SPET under standard neuropsychological conditions technically practically feasible.
