title: Parkinson's disease: in vivo brain metabolomics by MRS.
abstract: In vivo brain metabolomics in Parkinson's disease is still in its infancy. This chapter will review brain metabolomics in the human brain as studied noninvasively by magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Although preliminary, the results shed some light on the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease.
