Abstract
fMRS studies have shown dynamic change in glutamate (Glu) concentrations during visual stimulation. Here, we examine the effect of TE from 9.3-280ms on the signal during fMRS acquisition and whether T2 relaxation parameters change during a visual task compared to rest. We observed a short Glu T2-compartment between 2.5-4.5ms arising from 48% (rest) and 16% (active) of the total signal with significant increase in Glu signal at TE =140ms during stimulation. These preliminary results indicate bi-exponential decay of Glu in the visual cortex at 3T encouraging future work with more robust fMRS paradigms.
