"In our study using PET scanning, hypoperfusion and low synthesis in the frontal lobe, cingulate gyrus, temporal and occipital cortex, basal ganglia, hippocampus"
Interestingly Cingulate gyrus was also a place with hypometabolism found in 50% of the ME patients in this 2003 study
I also found that Cingulate cortex (Cingulate Gyrus is the main part of the Cingulate Cortex) is affected with hypometabolism in hypothyroidism in this study:
"Thyroid hormone replacement therapy abolished pretreatment group differences in regional activity, robustly increased activity in the ventral ACC (cingulate cortex), and significantly reduced both clinician-rated and self-rated behavioral and psychiatric symptoms.
Increased activity within the ventral ACC was associated with reduced somatic complaints, whereas increased activity within the dorsal ACC was associated with reduced depressive symptoms."
