Exclusion

  • Had a moderate or severe brain injury that required hospitalization
  • Significant systemic illness or unstable medical conditions including: uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncorrected hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, or systemic cancer
  • Diagnosis of schizophrenia, psychosis, or other psychological disorder (Note: blast-related mTBI group will not be excluded if they have a stable diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety resulting from their military experience; disorders existing prior to military service will serve as an exclusion)

  • Significant cerebrovascular disease (such as TIA, stroke) or cardiovascular disease (such as uncontrolled hypertension, atrial fibrillation)
  • Impairment of visual or auditory acuity sufficient to interfere with completion of study procedures
  • Education level \< 10 years
  • The presence of any MRI-incompatible prostheses or ferromagnetic metal, or any other condition that would preclude ability to undergo MRI or PET (such as claustrophobia or obesity, \>350 lbs and/or unable to fit in scanners)
  • History of risk factors for torsade de pointes or take drugs known to prolong the QT interval
  • Had 2 or more PET scans in the last year, or other significant exposure to radiation (i.e. radiation therapy)
