Healthy subjects needed for PET/MRI Study

We are seeking male participants, ages 22-30 years old, for our PET/MRI study that images synapses in the brain with a recently developed radiotracer C11-UBC-J. This is the first in-human tracer of the synapse in the brain. Our goal of this study is to see if there is reduced synaptic density in schizophrenia versus healthy people.

• One visit, if eligible, to Stanford Lucas Center for up to 4.5 hours of study participation
• 1.5 hour scan
• 1 hour of cognitive testing
• 1 hour clinical interview, if applicable
• $250 for completion of the study

Potential risks/discomfort
• Injection of radioactive material required for PET scan
• Intravenous (IV) delivery of radiotracer needed
• Lying down for a long period of time
