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 reduction in 18F-FDG uptake was observed in all cortical and subcortical regions of the left hemisphere, whereas a mild reduction was detected in the whole cerebellum and all cortical and subcortical regions of the right hemisphere (a). After hr-NGF administration, an increase in radiotracer uptake was found in the right frontal cortex (+ 11%), right temporal cortex (+ 15%), right parietal cortex (+ 14%), right occipital cortex (+ 22%), right and left thalamus (+ 10% and + 7%, respectively) and cerebellum (+ 33%) (b)
