Yes, but the 2 case reports regarding the temporal lobe had hypoperfusion. (point 3)
Cindy: "Her SPECT study showed marked decreased activity in the left temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex."
Summer: "Her SPECT study showed marked decreased activity in the left temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex bilaterally."

The doctor who ordered it, is the one of the heads of a university-clinic for psychiatry. I like him very much. The spect imaging was made at the nuclear medical department at hospital.
