^aV_GAD was excluded for subjects (n = 5) with noise level higher than 0.05 μmol/g/min.

^bTwo subjects had poor spectral fitting for glutamate.

^cSurvive Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (p < 0.05/9).

Abbreviations: r_s: Spearman’s correlation coefficient; GABA: γ-Aminobutyric acid.
