1H-MRS measurements of GABA/Cr correlate with MEG determined auditory evoked gamma band phase locking measurements in normal adult controls. The results suggest that MEG auditory evoked phase locking may be an index of GABAergic inhibitory interneuronal activity as indexed by GABA concentration. No previous studies have correlated MRS determined GABA concentration with auditory MEG phase locking metrics.
