In vivo measurement of glutamate neurotransmitter levels in brain structures implicated in neuropsychiatry disorders may provide insight into the role of these structures play in the manifestation of symptoms and potentially lead to improvements in therapy. Recent, studies with methods based on glutamate chemical exchange saturation transfer (GluCEST) in animal models and humans suggest that GluCEST mapping may serve as a biomarker of brain glutamate distribution, in vivo. Here, we use GluCEST to map glutamate distributions, within olfactory cortex, in healthy individuals (HC) and individuals at clinical risk for developing schizophrenia (CR).
