Motor skills acquisition can manifest in changes in basal levels of metabolites in the motor cortex. We aim to study difference in metabolites basal levels in the ipsilateral and contralateral motor cortex using single voxel MRS. Our study showed significant difference only in basal GABA levels and the basal GABA/Glx ratio. This result should be kept in mind when interpreting or designing experiments studying the metabolic correlates of motor function.
