Keywords: fMRI Acquisition, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, GABA, Glx (Glu + Gln), rACC, dACC, E/I imbalance
Motivation: This study aimed to explore the causes of neuropsychiatric disorders observed in patients long after COVID-19 infection.
Goal(s): Abnormal metabolite levels and excitation/inhibition imbalance in the rACC may contribute to the development of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Approach: The macromolecules(MM)-suppressed MEGA-PRESS sequence were employed to assess the levels of GABA and GLX.
Results: Higher GABA levels in the rostral ACC predicted more severe depressive state in the post-COVID-19 patients.Rostral ACC excitation-inhibition (EI) balance decreased in the post-COVID-19 patients
Impact: This study suggests that modulating metabolite levels could serve as a potential therapeutic approach for post-COVID-19 sequelae.
