N-Acetylaspartate in the CNS: From neurodiagnostics to neurobiology [PDF]
The brain is unique among organs in many respects, including its mechanisms of lipid synthesis and energy production. The nervous system-specific metabolite N-acetylaspartate (NAA), which is synthesized from aspartate and acetyl-coenzyme A in neurons, appears to be a key link in these distinct biochemical features of CNS metabolism.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Neurofibromatosis
The functional significance of T2 hyperintense lesions (UBOs) and their role in learning disabilities associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) were studied by quantitative magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 7 male patients, aged 6-19 years ...

A Cerebellar High-Grade Neuroepithelial Tumour with BCOR Alteration in a five-year-old Child: A case report. [PDF]
New groups of high-grade neuroepithelial tumours (HGNET) have emerged from the reclassification of central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumours that have recognised CNS HGNET with BCOR alteration (CNS HGNET-BCOR).

Combining Double Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization with Immunolabelling for Detection of the Expression of Three Genes in Mouse Brain Sections [PDF]
Detection of gene expression in different types of brain cells e.g., neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, oligodendrocyte precursors and microglia, can be hampered by the lack of specific primary or secondary antibodies for immunostaining.

Abstract Proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non‐invasive imaging technique that can be used to assess brain metabolism. Establishing reference levels of fetal brain metabolites in a translatable preclinical model is crucial for identifying subtle deviations from normal cerebral development. Herein, we developed a 1H‐MRS protocol for

Stabilized low-n amyloid-ß oligomers induce robust novel object recognition deficits associated with inflammatory, synaptic, and GABAergic dysfunction in the rat [PDF]
YesBackground:With current treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) only providing temporary symptomatic benefits, disease modifying drugs are urgently required. This approach relies on improved understanding of the early pathophysiology of AD.

Simultaneous Detection of GABA and Glycine Using MEGA‐PRESS With TE Optimization at 3T
ABSTRACT Purpose To achieve the simultaneous acquisition of gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine (Gly) using a MEGA‐PRESS sequence with an optimized TE at 3T. Methods MEGA‐PRESS simulations were performed at TEs 60‐88 ms to determine the optimal TE for Gly detection with minimal myo‐Inositol (mI) overlap and maximal GABA detection sensitivity ...

Oligodendrocytes Do Not Export NAA-Derived Aspartate In Vitro. [PDF]
Oligodendroglial cells are known to de-acetylate the N-acetylaspartate (NAA) synthesized and released by neurons and use it for lipid synthesis. However, the role of NAA regarding their intermediary metabolism remains poorly understood.
