Probing astrocyte metabolism in vivo: proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the injured and aging brain

Following a brain injury, the mobilization of reactive astrocytes is part of a complex neuroinflammatory response that may have both harmful and beneficial effects. There is also evidence that astrocytes progressively accumulate in the normal aging brain, increasing in both number and size. These as...
