In this work we investigated the diffusion properties of brain metabolites in a well-organized white matter fiber bundle, i.e. the corpus callosum, at 7T. The results indicate a clear difference in compartmentation among metabolites and raise interesting questions when results are fitted to conventional models of diffusion in given geometries.
