FIG 1. Frontal (left) and temporal (right) lobe spectra from a volunteer in the first (top) and second (bottom) sessions. Superimposed solid line corresponded to the LCModel fit, with the baseline shown below. Residual of the LCModel fit is inset above each spectrum. Peaks are labeled for NAA (NAA), creatine plus phosphocreatine (Cr), total trimethylamines (Cho), mI (mI), and glutamine and glutamate (Glx).
