We are seeking participants, healthy males who are ages 22-31 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
 (similar to head x-ray/CT scan)
• Intravenous (IV) delivery of radiotracer needed

• Lying down for a long period of time
