Experiment design and image co-registration landmarks. (A) Time course of the study. (B) The FDG-PET scans procedure. (C) Upper row shows the bregma (arrow) in the CT images. The CT images scanned in the same session were used to align the PET images. Horizontal level line was determined first as in the right panel, and the bregma was determined in the horizontal plan (left panel). PET and CT images were resliced accordingly. Lower row shows resliced coronal images at the level of bregma. Note anterior commissure in the MRI image was used to match the level of bregma.
