Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, C., Sigurdsson, H. P., Pépés, S. E., Auer, D. P., Morris, P. G., Morgan, P. S., …Jackson, S. R. (2017). Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER. NeuroImage, 156, 207-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.05.044

Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) has been used to assess the dynamic metabolic responses of the brain to a physiological stimulus non-invasively. However, only limited information on the dynamic functional response of γ-aminobutyric... Read More about Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER.

³¹P magnetization transfer magnetic resonance spectroscopy: assessing the activation induced change in cerebral ATP metabolic rates at 3 T (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, C., Stephenson, M. C., Peters, A., Morris, P. G., Francis, S. T., & Gowland, P. A. (2018). ³¹P magnetization transfer magnetic resonance spectroscopy: assessing the activation induced change in cerebral ATP metabolic rates at 3 T. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 79(1), 22-30. https://doi.org/10.1002/mrm.26663

Purpose: In vivo ³¹P MRS magnetization transfer (MT) provides a direct measure of neuronal activity at the metabolic level. This work aims to use functional ³¹P MRS-MT to investigate the change in cerebral ATP metabolic rates in healthy adults upon r...

Comparing GABA-­dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-­high-­field MRI (2017)
Journal Article
Dyke, K., Pépés, S. E., Chen, C., Kim, S., Sigurdsson, H. P., Draper, A., …Jackson, S. R. (2017). Comparing GABA-­dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-­high-­field MRI. NeuroImage, 152, 360-370. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.03.011

Imbalances in glutamatergic (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory) signalling within key brain networks are thought to underlie many brain and mental health disorders, and for this reason there is considerable interest in investigating how individual var...

Abnormal task driven neural oscillations in multiple sclerosis: a visuomotor MEG study (2017)
Journal Article
Barratt, E. L., Tewarie, P. K., Clarke, M. A., Hall, E. L., Gowland, P. A., Morris, P. G., …Brookes, M. J. (2017). Abnormal task driven neural oscillations in multiple sclerosis: a visuomotor MEG study. Human Brain Mapping, 38(5), 2441-2453. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23531

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease commonly attributed to degradation of white matter myelin. Symptoms include fatigue, as well as problems associated with vision and movement. Although areas of demyelination in white matter are observ... Read More about Abnormal task driven neural oscillations in multiple sclerosis: a visuomotor MEG study.

A new generation of magnetoencephalography: Room temperature measurements using optically-pumped magnetometers (2017)
Journal Article
Boto, E., Meyer, S. S., Shah, V., Alem, O., Knappe, S., Kruger, P., …Brookes, M. J. (2017). A new generation of magnetoencephalography: Room temperature measurements using optically-pumped magnetometers. NeuroImage, 149, 404-414. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.01.034

© 2017 The Authors Advances in the field of quantum sensing mean that magnetic field sensors, operating at room temperature, are now able to achieve sensitivity similar to that of cryogenically cooled devices (SQUIDs). This means that room temperatur... Read More about A new generation of magnetoencephalography: Room temperature measurements using optically-pumped magnetometers.
