¹H-MRS was used to study metabolic changes associated with basal anxiety levels in nucleus accumbens (NAc) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of naive mice. Results indicate some neuroenergetic differences specific to the NAc, which supports the idea that this structure plays a critical role in the etiology of anxiety.
