Abstract Nowadays, the connectivity between several brain regions is widely recognized and studied. This brain connectivity could be structural or functional depend on the techniques involved and plays crucial roles in determining the functional properties of neuronal systems. The frequency range of these connectivities is around 0.01-0.08 Hz. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful tool for biochemical in vivo studies of several metabolites. In vivo metabolite variations have been detected in a specific brain region with MRS during a task. Positron Emission Tomography studies with glucose have suggested temporal metabolite correlations between remote cerebral areas, but this connectivity is related with energetic metabolism of the glycolysis pathway. To acquire spectroscopy data from several areas is time demanding. The aim of this project is to detect and quantify any metabolite connectivity in resting state and task related with primary areas (visual or motor). To increase the temporal resolution will be used the signal from several coils independently. (AU) | |
