Lithium (Li) and its salts have been demonstrated to be the most effective drug in both acute and prophylactic treatment of bipolar disorder. The exact molecular mechanisms and particular target regions accounting for its mood-stabilizing effect remain unknown. Knowledge of Li distribution and its r

## Abstract ^1^H magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging has been used to obtain metabolite maps of the rat brain. The spinโechoโbased technique has been evaluated with respect to water and lipid suppression and sensitivity. Metabolite maps were constructed for choline. creatine + phosphocreatine,
## Abstract With standard spectroscopic imaging, high spatial resolution is achieved at the price of a large number of phaseโencoding steps, leading to long acquisition times. Fast spatial encoding methods reduce the minimum total acquisition time. In this article, a __k__โspace scanning scheme usi
## Abstract ## Purpose To assess the feasibility of ^1^H spectroscopic imaging (SI) in the mouse brain at 9.4 T, and investigate regional variations in brain metabolites. ## Materials and Methods A total of 21 SI studies were performed in CDโ1 mice to evaluate the basal ganglia (__N__ = 5), hipp
## Abstract A twoโdimensional spectroscopic imaging sequence consisting of an inversion recovery pulse, a plane selective prefocused pulse, and a semiselective water suppression pulse has been used to create ^1^H spectroscopic images of the human brain with nominal voxels of 0.5 cc. Due to the exce
