This article reviewed the evidence that increase in glucose utilization in a functionally activated pathway is localized to synapse-rich regions in neuropil and not at all to perikarya, is linearly related to the spike frequency in the afferent pathway to the area, is the result of stimulation of Na+, K+ -ATPase activity, and in glutamatergic pathways occurs in astroglial as well as neuronal elements in the neuropil.
