In response to our article (
Parsey et al 2006
),
Meyer et al 2001b

Meyer et al 2004
have written “there was an important error in the description of our method of reference
region selection for our [11C]DASB positron emission tomography (PET) occupancy studies.” It appears our description
of their method is not correct based on their letter, but unfortunately, we could
only rely on what we had found in their previously published articles. We cited both
references
Meyer et al 2001b
and
Meyer et al 2004
and carefully reviewed them to determine the nature and extent of the cerebellar
region of interest. These articles cite several others for methodology; relevant sections
of text are reproduced below verbatim:To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
