Data from our group indicates that measurable imaging changes precede cognitive decline. (a) An image of a rat brain acquired using a 9.4 T MRI. The pink box indicates where 1H MRS was performed. Changes in glutamate, alanine, and lactate preceded cognitive impairments. In addition, FA analysis detected a decrease in volume of the fimbria. (b) An FA map of the rat brain.
