What is the best brain region to use as a reference for normalization in FDG-PET images where the region of interest is in the somatosensory cortex?

I'm interested in somatosensory metabolism in a model of cortical malformation with susceptibility to absence seizures.

Hi,

The cerebellum is often used as a reference region for normalisation in FDG-PET studies involving the somatosensory cortex. However, you should validate this choice for your specific model of cortical malformation and absence seizures.

Hope this helps.
