[La...] Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The full title of this American/Austrian/English study is "3D GABA imaging with real-time motion correction, shim update and reacquisition of adiabatic spiral MRSI." It looks at a specific way to measure GABA and glutamate "in vivo", which refers to a process taking place in a living organism. From the abstract: "Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate (Glu) are the major neurotransmitters in the brain. They are crucial for the functioning of healthy brain and their alteration is a major mechanism in the pathophysiology of many neuro-psychiatric disorders. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the only way to measure GABA and Glu non-invasively in vivo. GABA detection is particularly challenging and requires special MRS techniques." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25255945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
