Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging in Neurochemistry

The basic principles and current applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are described in this collection of articles by leading world authorities. The contributions document the interface between neurochemistry and physics, and embrace progress ranging from fundamental studies on isolated brain preparations to in vivo investigations using rodents, all as a basis for research on the conscious human brain.
