Abstract:
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an important tool for studying the effects of nutrition on brain health. MRS can be used to measure the concentrations of metabolites which are related to cognitive performance and sensitive to diet. These measurements can provide information about metabolic efficiency, plasma membrane stability, antioxidant status, and neurotransmitter availability. MRS can therefore be used to elucidate the biochemical mechanisms by which diet influences cognition, and to characterize the effects of nutritional interventions targeted to improve cognition.
