Abstract
One of the common features of epilepsy is a change in glucose metaboli sm at the site of seizure activity during and between seizures. The no ninvasive in situ study of glucose transport and metabolism by NMR can potentially provide detailed information about this phenomena. In thi s short review, we will discuss the principles of C-13-glucose NMR stu dies of the brain and compare the advantages and disadvantages of this method to those of F-18-deoxyglucose studies using positron emission tomography (PET).
