(a) An example resting 80 average water-suppressed spectrum from the ACC of a volunteer with SZ. A 1 Hz Lorentzian line broadening has been applied. (b) Resultant spectral fits of glutamate, (c) glutamine, and (d) the remaining metabolites (glutathione, taurine, aspartate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, N-acetylaspartylglutamate, myo-inositol, scyllo-inositol, N-acetylaspartate, choline (phosphorylcholine, glycerophosphorylcholine), creatine (phosphocreatine, creatine), glycine, ascorbate) and the macromolecular baseline. (e) The residual (data minus the fit of all the metabolites and macromolecules) of the spectrum. ACC, anterior cingulate cortex; SZ, schizophrenia.
