“…Interestingly, our direct comparison between [ 18 F]FDG SUVR and [ 11 C]DPA713 BP ND showed a positive correlation in the right hippocampus and amygdala. Since it was reported that TSPO-based PET findings in chronic, but not early, brain disease reflect a proinflammatory state [35,36], it seems theoretically possible that lower cerebral metabolism couples with higher proinflammatory responses, i.e., [ 18 [37], from aerobic glycolysis, the current result suggested that the higher [ 18 F]FDG uptake accompanied greater glycolysis in the hippocampus and amygdala, which subserve memory and emotion in patients with FSS. In the present study, a significant reduction in glucose metabolism was found in patients with FSS compared with healthy subjects.…”
