Popis: Introduction Endogenous psychoses, e.g. schizophrenia, are a pressing problem of modern medicine and biology. Among various neurobiological models of schizophrenia,much attention is paid to disturbances in the brain neural activity and metabolism. Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze dynamics of motor cortex metabolites in the norm and in early stage of schizophrenia in period of BOLD response to event related single stimulus using MRI methods (fMRI and NMR). Methods Study was performed on clinical Phillips Achieva 3.0 T MRI scanner. Volume of interest in motor cortex was localized on the base of fMRI study (EPI FFE, TR = 3000 ms, TE = 30 ms) as the zone of activation (Fig 1) caused by bottom push with the forefinger in response to single auditory stimuli transmitted with the 18 s periodicity. The BOLD signal was measured each 3 sec. 1Н МR spectra (PRESS, TE = 30 ms TR = 3000 ms) were run; FID signals for time points t = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 s after stimulus were summarized (Fig 2). Thus, the synchronization of BOLD and metabolic responses to single stimulus was achieved. The same method was applied for spectra accumulation in resting state. For FID processing custom made software was used (with apodization filtering (LB = 20, GB = -5), FT and manual phase correction). NAA, Cho, Cr signal intensities for each time point were normalized to their values at t = 0 and to the volume of activated cells containing in the voxel (segmented manually). Intergroup difference and time points differences were estimated using Mann-Whitney criterion with the level of significance p
