This study uses 7T 31P fMRS to show NAD+ decreases during visual stimulation in the human occipital lobe, with no change in other metabolites.

The paper identifies neurometabolic predictors of mental effort in the frontal cortex using 1H-MRS and machine learning.

This study shows that balance learning improves cortical GABA levels and functional connectivity in elderly adults, potentially counteracting age-related declines.

The paper investigates how lactate levels in the dmPFC/dACC relate to motivation for physical effort and neural activity, finding a systemic influence of lactate on brain metabolism.

This study examines developmental changes in NAD redox state and neuroenergetics in a schizophrenia mouse model with compromised antioxidant capacity, identifying altered metabolite levels and potential therapeutic targets.

This study shows that higher glutathione levels in the nucleus accumbens predict better sustained performance in reward-incentivized effort tasks and that manipulating GSH levels affects motivation.

This study links neurochemical profiles in the nucleus accumbens to individual differences in anxiety traits and situational stress using 7T 1H-MRS in healthy males.
