Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. It allows the quantification of cerebral metabolite concentrations. Currently, MRS-1H is used regardless of the examination schedule. However, it is not possible to say if the brain metabolite concentrations are stable over 24 hours. Thus, the main objective was to study the diurnal variation of cerebral metabolite concentrations in 1H-MRS in healthy subjects. Moreover, the investigators also want to investigate the association between choline concentrations (Cho, parameter reflecting membrane metabolism) in 1H-MRS and fractional anisotropy (AF) values, obtained with the diffusion tensor imaging sequence (DTI), in the white matter of the centrum ovale. The results obtained from this objective will allow to obtain reference values of an estimate of the association between Cho concentrations and AF values in healthy subjects. These data are intended to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with neurological pathologies.

Primary | Description of diurnal variations of brain metabolite concentrations in 1H-MRS | The primary outcome is to describe the diurnal variation of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate at 7:30 am, 1:30 pm and 6 pm, in the basal ganglia, the anterior and posterior cingulate cortex, the insular cortex, the white matter in healthy subjects. The data will be collected at D3. | 1 day | |
