Periodic Reporting for period 3 - LactaDiff (Assessing cellular compartmentation of brain lactate using diffusion MR spectroscopy in vivo)

Compartmentation of brain lactate, i.e. its distribution between neurons, glial cells (in particular astrocytes) and the extracellular space, is likely to play a critical role in neurotransmission and brain plasticity, and is presumably altered in neurodegenerative diseases...
