Evolution of glucose metabolism over time. a F18-FDG-PET during acute phase of disease (2 weeks after onset) shows bi-insular and bi-frontal glucose hypermetabolism as well as glucose hypometabolism occipital and partially in the parietal lobe. b After 3 months there is a marked bi-insular and bi-hippocampal hypometabolism, whereas prefrontal, occipital and parietal glucose-uptake is normal. F18-FDG-PET scans have been co-registered with MRI in order to correlate metabolic pathologies with anatomical structures
