New brain imaging technique identifies previously undetected epileptic seizure sites
November 13, 2015 by NewsBot

The imaging technique, known as glutamate chemical exchange saturation transfer (GluCEST), images changes in glutamate levels in brain structures that identify the location of seizures not detected with conventional MRI.
