New blog by Renée on Donders Wonders
Hooray for Renée! Her blog “Between Yin and Yang: how the balance between molecules supports brain functioning” just got published on Donders Wonders!
In short, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows researchers to measure neurotransmitters like GABA and glutamate, shedding light on the crucial balance between excitation and inhibition that underpins healthy brain function. Advances in MRS, driven by stronger MRI magnets, are enhancing our understanding of how this balance influences processes like learning and decision-making, and its potential role in conditions like PTSD.
