摘要: Abstract In vivo measurement of neurotransmitters and modulators is now feasible with advanced proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) techniques. This review provides a basic tutorial MRS, describes the methods available to measure brain glutamate, glutamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, glutathione, N-acetylaspartylglutamate, glycine, serine at field strengths 3 T or higher, summarizes neurochemical findings in schizophrenia. Overall, 1H MRS holds great promise for producing biomarkers that can serve as treatment targets, prediction disease onset, illness exacerbation schizophrenia other diseases.
