Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) is a critical mediator of neuronal growth, survival, and synaptic plasticity, which is activated by the endogenous ligand, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkB has been implicated in a wide range of neurological conditions, including neurodegenerative, psychiatric, and proliferative disorders. Non-invasive imaging of TrkB using positron emission tomography (PET) has been pursued to enhance understanding of its role in disease and support therapeutic development. Here, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo properties of [ Show less
