Excerpt

With the advent of positron emission tomography (PET) the brain metabolism can be mapped through detection of a glucose analogue radiotracer. This has proven to be a great tool in the expansion of our knowledge on brain function. However, the way in which the brain grows old is still not entirely unravelled by the scientific community. A thorough understanding of ageing is of great importance in the discrimination of the normal from the pathological brain. …
