Regional Correlations in Patterns of Glucose Use in Patients with Schizophrenia and Normal Subjects During Mild Pain Stimulation

  • Chapter
Positron Emission Tomography of the Brain

Abstract

The ability to study patterns of cerebral metabolism in humans noninvasively is clearly one of the great advantages of positron tomography. The development of the 18F-labeled 2-fluorodeoxyglucose (218FDG) method has produced a powerful tool for studying cerebral energy metabolism with positron tomography (Huang et al. 1980). Given the tight coupling normally existing between cerebral function and energy metabolism (Sokoloff 1977, 1981), 218FDG has been used to study resting patterns of metabolism in resting subjects (Mazziotta et al. 1981), subjects undergoing neuropsychological activations (Greenberg et al. 1981), and schizophrenic subjects at rest and off medication (Buchsbaum et al. 1982).
