Epileptogenesis involves metabolic and micro structural alterations within subfields of the brain. Non-invasive in-vivo monitoring of these processes provide deeper insights and might reveal MR biomarkers for epilepsy. In this longitudinal study, we employed 1H MR spectroscopy and high-resolution diffusion imaging in combination with tractography to monitor the developments during epileptogenesis in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy. We identified early changes of relevant metabolites (GABA, Glu, Lac, NAA, Ins) and tracked the progression of structural changes (gliosis) in hippocampal subfields which were validated by subsequent in-vivo EEG recordings and immunohistochemistry.
