Solution

Assessment of deoxyglucose use cannot be used as part of procedures to detect local brain activity in humans. This is because deoxyglucose is not radioactive and therefore cannot be detected by imaging techniques such as PET scans. On the other hand, fluorodeoxyglucose is a radioactive compound that is used in PET scans to assess brain activity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and assessment of blood flow are also commonly used methods to detect local brain activity.
