Hope you won't mind my including bionet.neuroscience in this (see my
prior comment). I concur with Nancy's comments.
re LeDoux: Joe does lesion studies with rats. In a fairly recent
presentation (ARNMD meeting in NYC, December), he gave no hint of
expanding to PET studies (rats or humans!). Given that NYU Center for
Neural Science has soome expertise in MEG (Sam Williamson), this would
be a prefered technique in any case, given the rather severe
limitations of PET (and even fMRI) for temporal resolution.
