Glutamate-CEST (GluCEST) has been recently emerging as a powerful new technique for mapping Glutamate in the brain. A recent development termed overlap-resolved CEST (orCEST) has demonstrated that other metabolites may contaminate GluCEST contrast, and proposed how to resolve the wanted signals; here we optimize orCEST contrast to reflect Glutamate and GABA with very high sensitivity and good specificity. orCEST experiments are optimized on metabolite phantoms, and then are applied in-vivo in the rat. The results are promising for neurotransmitter mapping in-vivo.
