PET before and after the treatment with hr-NGF. a, b: Brain 18F-FDG PET axial slices performed before (a) and after b hr-NGF treatment. A severe global reduction in 18F-FDG uptake was observed in all cortical and subcortical regions as well as in the cerebellum (a). After hr-NGF administration, an increase in radiotracer uptake was detected in the left and right temporal cortex (right: + 18%; left: + 15%), bilateral parietal cortex (right: + 18%; left + 15%), right and left occipital cortex (right: + 10%; left: + 13%) and right and left thalamus (+ 7% and + 8%, respectively) (b)
