We used a chronic tetanus toxin rat model of interictal
spiking as a platform to investigate longitudinal
metabolite changes associated with epileptogensis. Our
1H MRS performed in vivo at 7T provides the opportunity
to examine neocortical metabolite changes associated
with the epileptogenic process in context of concurrent
long term EEG changes. The goal of this study is to
identify key noninvasive biomarkers associated with
epileptogensis in the neocortex and characterize the
potential interplays between metabolite and
electrophysiologic changes during epilepsy development.
