We used a chronic tetanus toxin rat model of interictal
spiking as a platform to investigate longitudinal
metabolite changes associated with epileptogensis. Our
1H MRS performed in vivo at 7T provides the opportunity
to examine neocortical metabolite changes associated
with the epileptogenic process in context of concurrent
long term EEG changes. The goal of this study is to
identify key biomarkers associated with epileptogensis
in the neocortex, which we believe exhibits a different
pattern of metabolite level changes than those observed
in the hippocampus. Identification of such markers can
help guide future clinical and pharmacological
approaches.
