Text

Although the influence of medications was also evaluated spectroscopically, the findings are ambiguous. In some studies, antipsychotics increased levels of NAA after treatment [34,41], while in others, there were no significant changes [28,42,43,44]. It remains unclear if substances modifying glutamatergic transmission cause changes in concentrations of CNS metabolites detectable in spectroscopy.
