Changes in activity of glial cells induced by the intraperitoneal injection of LPS were detected in vivo by [11C]PK11195 PET. Intraperitoneal injection of LPS is known to induce depression, and further studies with [11C]PK11195 PET would clarify the relationships between neuroinflammation and depression.
