Figure 5

Typical qMRS volume of interest (voxel size 3 × 3 × 3 cm3) placement in the mPFC (A), representative spectra with LCModel fitting, depicting an averaged MEGA-PRESS OFF spectrum for Glx extraction (labeled as 2 and 7, extracted solely from OFF-spectra (B)) and a difference spectrum for the extraction of GABA+ (C) from a healthy volunteer (gray line: post-processed spectra prior to fitting; red line: LCModel fit). Residuals are shown at the top of each panel. Assignments: 1, Creatine (-2CH2-); 2, Glx (-2CH-); 3, Choline (-N(CH3)3); 4, Creatine (-N(CH3)); 5, GABA+ (-4CH2-); 6, tNA (-3CH2-); 7, Glx (-4CH2-); 8, GABA+ (-2CH2-); 9, tNA (-2CH3); 10. GABA+ (-3CH2-); 11–13, Macromolecules and lipids, -CH2-)62. Abbreviations: Glx, glutamate + glutamine; GABA+, γ-Aminobutyric acid (+macromolecule signal); tNA, total N-acetylaspartate (NAA + NAAG).
