PET is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses radioactivity emitted from injected tracer chemicals to measure and image biological activity.

PET是一项非损伤的成像技术，它将示踪迹注入血液利用其放射性来检测生物活性并成像。

They combined conventional PET imaging, which requires a radioactive tracer to highlight the brain's metabolic activity, with other recent advances in the genetic engineering of brain cells that allows them to target specific brain circuits in lab animals.
