This study investigates the feasibility of measuring glutamate and glutamine metabolites by 7T 1H-MRS after a ketamine infusion in a double blind placebo cross-over study in major depression. MRS data was acquired from the pre-genual anterior cingulate in 15 depressed and 13 healthy controls. Glutamate levels, but not glutamine, were found to be significantly different between groups.
