Glia mediate neuroendocrine and neuroimmune functions that are altered during the process of normal aging. The biological functions of glia are also important in synaptic remodeling and the loss of synaptic connections that occur during aging. These functions are carried out by changes in glia, incl

In the investigations of brain function and pathology in vivo by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), a decrease in the relative concentration of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) has been correlated with neuronal cell damage or loss, while a relative increase in the resonance intensity of creatine has bee
1 H NMR diffusion experiments performed on the signal of the metabolites in bovine optic nerve showed that the signal decay due to diffusion is bi-exponential with a slow and a fast diffusing component. Diffusion was measured as a function of the diffusion time, and the data were analyzed as a fu
At the high field strength of 7βT, __in vivo__ spectra of the human brain with exceptional spectral quality sufficient to quantify 16 metabolites have been obtained previously only in the occipital lobe. However, neurochemical abnormalities associated with many brain disorders are expected to occur
