The aim of this study was the analysis of motor cortex metabolism dynamics during period of BOLD response to fMRI motion task. The BOLD signal demonstrated maximum at the 6th sec after target stimulus for both patient and control groups, with lower intensity for schizophrenia patients. For control group, NAA decreased at the 12th second after fMRI motion task presentation and recovered to the initial value at the 15th second. Patient group demonstrates different dynamics of NAA in motor cortex with smaller NAA intensity changes.
