hyperactivity disorder) is unknown. We investigated the hypothesis that cerebral glucose …

This review provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of cerebral glucose metabolism
in ageing. We undertook a systematic literature review followed by pooled effect size and …

Positron emission tomography was used to measure local cerebral glucose utilization by the
2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose technique in 23 patients with cerebral gliomas. All 10 high …

• The cerebral metabolic rate for glucose was studied in 18 adults with childhood-onset

Objectives: We sought to obtain and compare values of cerebral glucose metabolism in
normal minors and minors with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We also …

Anhedonia is a cardinal symptom of major depression and is often refractory to standard
