In this glutamate Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (GluCEST) study, typically developing individuals and youth at clinical high risk for psychosis exhibit subtle, but significant, abnormalities in brain glutamate, similar to patients with schizophrenia in the entire cortical area. GluCEST technique holds distinct promise for understanding neurodevelopmental contributions to schizophrenia pathophysiology.
