The imaging method tracks molecules active in several neurological diseases.

When it comes to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia, along with addiction and depression, a certain enzyme has gotten a lot of attention as a major actor in each: histone deacetylases (HDACs). Scientists recently developed a new imaging technique to see them in action, witnessing changes in gene activity in the brain for the first time.
