Abstract
The biochemical changes associated with brain maturation during the first 28 days postnatal were investigated utilizing proton and phosphorusβ31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in rat pups in vivo. Phosphocreatine was found to increase linearly during this period of development. Phosphomonoester was high at birth, peaked around the 10th day postnatal, and declined thereafter. NβAcetylβaspartate was low at birth, increased in an approximately linear fashion, and reached adult levels by about Day 28 postnatal. Choline was high at birth and declined thereafter. Taurine, a sulfur amino acid abundant in fetal brain, was also present in high levels on the first day postnatal. Β© 1992 Academic Press, Inc.

Bayesian spectrum analysis for parameter estimation is a rigorous statistical (non-Fourier-based) method. Herein the Bayesian quadrature NMR model is introduced and applied to analysis of 3'P NMR time domain data from in vivo rat brain. Immunity to both the brain spectrum "baseline hump" and the pha
As a result of the agonist stimulation of muscarinic receptors, myo-inositol-1-phosphate accumulates in the presence of millimolar lithium concentrations. This accumulation of myo-inositol-1-phosphate can be detected by in vivo 31P NMR spectroscopy. Since myo-inositol-1-phosphate is a breakdown prod
31P and 3-fluoro-3-deoxy-D-glucose (3-FDG) 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic investigations were performed on aged rat brain in vivo. Phosphodiester (PDE) was found to be significantly higher (p less than 0.05) in aged brain (18 months, n = 10) than adult controls (6 months, n = 10)
