Age and IFN-β-induced changes in glial morphometry can be captured by in vivo diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Eva Periche-Tomas, Itamar Ronen, Jonathan Underwood, John Evans, Claire MacIver, Helena Leach, Francesca Branzoli, Mara Cercignani, Neil Andrew Harrison

This study uses dMRS to show IFN-β increases thalamic tCho diffusivity and age is linked to lower tNAA diffusivity and higher tCho/tCr in white matter.

Metabolic Dysfunction Underlying Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis: Elevated Lactate and Impaired Post-Exercise Creatine Response in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex

Gemma Brownbill, Jeanne Dekerle, Mara Cercignani, Itamar Ronen, James M. Stone

This study finds elevated lactate and stable post-exercise creatine in MS patients' anterior cingulate cortex, suggesting altered energy metabolism linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.

A 7T interleaved fMRS and fMRI study on visual contrast dependency in the human brain.

Anouk Schrantee, Chloé Najac, Chris Jungerius, Wietske van der Zwaag, Saâd Jbabdi, William T. Clarke, Itamar Ronen

This study uses interleaved fMRS and fMRI to examine how visual contrast affects neurometabolite levels and BOLD responses in the human brain, finding non-linear relationships and consistent glutamate increases.
