Hippocampal sclerosis involves neuronal loss in hippocampal subfields and is a common characteristic of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Investigation of the metabolic alterations following a status epilepticus may lead to a better understanding of epileptogenesis and can reveal biomarkers for TLE. Overcoming the major disadvantages of single voxel 1H MR spectroscopy, namely a low spatial and temporal resolution, this study investigates the capability of the glutamate chemical exchange saturation transfer (GluCEST) method to map endogenous glutamate alterations in a mouse model of TLE.
