A multicenter (1)H-MRS study of the medial temporal lobe in AD and MCI.

17 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The need for biological markers of Alzheimer disease (AD) is constantly increasing. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) studies have provided consistent evidence for a reduction of the neuronal marker N-acetylaspartate (NAA) ... Read more...

Posterior cingulate neurometabolite profiles and clinical phenotype in frontotemporal dementia.

29 Nov 2006 Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to compare metabolite levels from a posterior cingulate voxel in a group of patients with 2 syndromic subtypes of frontotemporal dementia (n=10) and an age and education-matched group with Alzheimer ... Read more...

Attention, learning, and memory in posttraumatic stress disorder.

30 Jan 2004 This study compared attention and declarative memory in a sample of combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD, n = 24) previously reported to have reduced concentrations of the hippocampal neuronal marker N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), but ... Read more...
