Glutamine plus glutamate (Glx), as well as N-acetylaspartate compounds, (NAAc), a marker of neuronal viability, are quantified with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) and have been reported altered in psychotic disorders. However, few studies have compared these neurometabolites in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Chronically-treated bipolar-I have increased Glx and reduced NAAc, suggestive of neuronal dysfunction. The… Continuar lendo Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging of gray and white matter in bipolar-I and schizophrenia.

“Our ultimate goal is to turn our genome research into information we can transform into diagnostic tests and new medicines,” says Scherer. “When I walk through the hospital, I see families that need answers. Genome information is used at SickKids every day to advise on life-changing treatments for kids, and also for counselling of families… Continuar lendo Exploring the genetic link to autism ALUMNUS STANDS AT THE FOREFRONT OF EMERGING GENOMIC RESEARCH.
