While resting-state fMRI (R-fMRI) is a popular way to measure networks in the human brain, a lack of understanding in terms of glucose metabolism (CMR glc ) has made translation to clinical settings difficult. Simultaneous fluorodeoxyglucose PET and R-fMRI data were collected from 22 subjects with eyes open or eyes closed. Various R-fMRI quantifications were tested to match the globally higher CMR glc observed with eyes open. Functional connectivity density (FCD) without any global signal regression reflected state change similar to that observed with CMR glc data. Thus FCD may be a viable biomarker for R-fMRI in clinical settings.
