Now I know why I feel like I've been developing Down's syndrome! It's all the wanking and deactivated frontal cortex activity! Thanks, Slog!

It would be accurate to say that metabolism is modulated up in certain areas and down in others, but these PET data can't even tell us basic info about the cell types that are involved. PET and fMRI studies always seem to get play in the popular press, but their usefulness is fairly narrow. And they always seem to be presented in a way that seems to support the "we only use 10% of our brains" myth.
