Riassunto:

Chapters begin with comprehensive reviews of neuronal physiology and pathophysiology (with a special emphasis on those aspects that are relevant to understanding MS-related axonal damage), then cover the physical and chemical bases of magnetic resonance spectroscopy; MRS studies of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (an animal model of MS); contributions of magnetic resonance spectroscopy to the understanding of MS pathophysiology (e.g., how brain functional reorganization can compensate for axonal damage); and future directions, the challenge of standardization and optimization of MRS technology, and applications of MRS to other white matter diseases.
