E) 2-DG autoradiography

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

2-DG (2-deoxyglucose) autoradiography takes advantage of the fact that glucose is required for more fuel, as it is a glucose analog that is taken up by cells in a manner similar to glucose. By measuring the uptake of 2-DG in different regions of the brain, researchers can infer which areas are more active and consuming more glucose. The other techniques listed, such as neuromagnetometer, microdialysis, electroencephalograph, and c-FOS, do not directly measure glucose uptake and therefore do not take advantage of this requirement.
