Our results demonstrated the feasibility of correlating FDG metabolism and resting-state fMRI data acquired simultaneously via a combined PET/MR on healthy participants. We showed that PCC-based intrinsic functional connectivity with the anterior node of the default network is positively related to glucose consumption, which in turn is related to fluctuations in the BOLD signal specific to gray matter regions. The fMRI signals are indirect measures of neuronal activity; thus, the ability to simultaneously interrogate metabolism and fMRI indices of brain function in the same temporal and spatial frames of reference provides greater insights into whole brain network organization.
