Assessment of reliability and biological significance of glutamate levels in cerebrospinal fluid.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying magnetic resonance imaging-defined white matter (WM) changes associated with age-related cognitive decline remain poorly defined. We tested the hypothesis that WM lesions in older adults, defined by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), arise in the setting of vascul...
