a, Voxel-based analyses of the ratio of tissue and plasma glucose concentrations (CE/CP) based on 18F-FDG kinetics in brains of fasted C57BL/6N mice not exposed or exposed to food odours (NCD). The yellow–red and blue–white scales represent the magnitude of P values from a voxel-wise paired t-test indicating food odour-induced activated regions (yellow–red) or inhibited regions (blue–white; paired two-tailed Student’s t-test; n = 12 mice). Atlas-based anatomical brain regions analysed are indicated by dashed blue lines. b, Quantification of 18FDG metabolism of regions depicted in a. Data are represented as the mean ± s.e.m. *P ≤ 0.05 (dark bars indicate mice not exposed to food odours; orange bars indicate mice exposed to food odours).
