Synopsis
Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) can be used to investigate the neurometabolic responses to external stimuli in-vivo, but findings to date are inconsistent. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on 49 human fMRS studies on Glutamate, Glx (Glutamate + Glutamine) and GABA. Small to moderate effect sizes of 0.29-0.47 (p < 0.05) were observed for Glu/Glx regardless of stimulus domain but not for GABA. Results suggest Glu/Glx and GABA responses vary with time course and are unique to stimulus domain or task. This analysis will inform study design in future work.
