In this preliminary study, we used high-spatially resolved 1H-MRS, in combination with refine adjustments and dedicated quantification, to examine medullar and thalamic metabolic alterations following spinal cord injury in mice, from the very first days to six weeks after injury. Multi-slice DTI were concomitantly acquired at each time-point and immuno-histochemistry was performed to investigate correlation with both MRS and DTI data.
