Chapter and Conference Paper
Under normal conditions, function, metabolism and blood flow of the central nervous system are closely interlinked. Therefore, the cerebral structures involved in different activities can be demonstrated by st...
Chapter
The cerebral localization not only of elementary sensory or motor functions but also of complex mental activities and human behavior has been dominated traditionally by neuroanatomic concepts derived from corr...

Chapter
In most experimental models of focal and generalized epileptic seizures a substantial increase of glucose metabolism has been observed in those brain structures which were involved in the pathological activity...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The need for presurgical localization of the epileptic focus is obvious. In patients with drug-resistant complex partial seizures, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are li...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Since the energy requirement of the brain is supplied almost exclusively by glucose, the functional state of the tissue can be estimated and quantitatively demonstrated by reference to the glucose metabolism. ...
