Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the thalamus in schizophrenia.
This study applied (1)H-MRS in the thalamus of schizophrenic patients and healthy subjects. There were no differences in the metabolite ratios (NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr or mI/Cr) between the two groups. Relationships were noted between NAA/Cr and age in patients with a trend toward this correlation in controls, suggesting an effect of age on the metabolism of the thalamus.
