Abstract

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the most important tools for quantitative analysis of chemical composition and structure, and this non-invasive technique is now being applied in vivo to study biochemical processes in those neuropsychiatric disorders that are part of the phospholipid spectrum. Interpretation of a clinical magnetic resonance spectrum can provide information about membrane phospholipid turnover, cellular energetics, neuronal function, selected neurotransmitter activity and intracellular pH. Cerebral proton and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy findings are summarized in relation to schizophrenia, dyslexia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
