Stable isotopes and the study of the brain and behavior
- eds.
From first international conference on stable isotopes in chemistry, biology, and medicine; Argonne, Illinois, USA (9 May 1973). In proceedings of the first international conference on stable isotopes in chemistry, biology, and medicine. Owing to a wide range of behavioral effects encountered when using deuterium-labeled molecules (water) in experiments on brain chemistry and animal behavior, attention has focused on the heavier nuclides such as /sup 13/C, /sup 15/N, and /sup 18/O for which behaviora l isotope effects have been negative. Psychobiological studies using /sup 18/O tracer techniques are described including studies on oxygen metabolism in various behavioral situations in rats and studies on the turnover and location of catecholamines in brain.
