¹H-[¹³C] MRS was applied in a mouse dorsal hippocampus to investigate brain metabolism in vivo. The measured fractional enrichments allowed to measure metabolic fluxes using a one compartment model of glucose metabolism. Results were similar to previous study using a 3 times bigger voxel. This study shows that metabolism of the mouse dorsal hippocampus, which is one of the most studied structures of the brain, can be assessed in vivo.
