abstract = {Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers a
non-invasive, repeatable, and reproducible method for in
vivo metabolite profiling of the brain and other tissues.
However, metabolite fingerprinting by MRS requires high
signal-to-noise ratios for accurate metabolite
quantification, which has traditionally been limited to
large volumes of interest, compromising spatial fidelity. In
this study, we introduce a new optimized pipeline that
combines LASER MRS acquisition at 11.7 T with a cryogenic
coil and advanced offline pre- and post-processing. This
approach achieves a signal-to-noise ratio sufficient to
reliably quantify 19 distinct metabolites in a volume as
small as 0.7 μL within the mouse brain. The resulting high
spatial resolution and spectral quality enable the
identification of distinct metabolite fingerprints in small,
specific regions, as demonstrated by characteristic
differences in N-acetylaspartate, glutamate, taurine, and
myo-inositol between the motor and somatosensory cortices.
We demonstrated a decline in taurine and glutamate in the
primary motor cortex between 5 and 11 months of age, against
the stability of other metabolites. Further exploitation to
cortical layer-specific metabolite fingerprinting of layer
I-III to layer VI-V in the primary motor cortex, with the
latter showing reduced taurine and phosphoethanolamine
levels, demonstrates the potential of this pipeline for
detailed in vivo metabolite fingerprinting of cortical areas
and subareas.},
