Figure 3

1H MRS of the striatum of mice. 1H MR spectra were acquired from a 2 × 2 × 2 mm3 voxel placed in the striatum (as shown in the inset). Raw spectra were processed using the LCmodel. Raw spectra (black) and fitted spectra (red) are shown with increased glutamate observed following exposure to MPTP. Other MRS observable metabolites were unaltered. Glu Glutamate, Cre total creatine, NAA N-Acetylaspartate, Cho Choline, Glx Gutamte + Glutamine.
