Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is one of important inhibitory neurotransmitters, closely related to mental illness such as depression and schizophrenia. MEGA-PRESS, a spectral editing technique in MRS, is a non-invasive method for detecting GABA concentration in vivo. In this study, data from volunteers was acquired using a robust prototype with MEGA-PRESS pulse sequence, and the residual bootstrap analysis was used to assess uncertainty in different regions, variability from repeated scans, and natural variation among different subjects.
