Mitochondria Make You Think: An [18F]BCPP-EF Positron Emission Tomography Study of Mitochondrial Complex I Levels and Brain Activation during Task Switching

Mitochondrial complex I is the largest enzyme complex in the respiratory chain and can be non-invasively measured using [18F]BCPP-EF positron emission tomography (PET). Neurological conditions associa...
