Figure 3

Scaling of the volume-specific glucose utilization rate in subcortical gray matter with brain volume. The specific metabolic scaling exponent had the following values: (A) -0.15 for thalamus (y = -0.15x + 0.03); (B) -0.14 for hippocampus (y = -0.14x - 0.13), which represents limbic structures; (C) -0.15 for caudate (y = -0.15x + 0.02), which represents basal ganglia; (D) -0.15 for cerebellum (y = -0.15x - 0.09).
