Beckman Institute researcher Ryan Larsen and his colleagues developed a new method for assessing metabolite levels in the infant brain. Their open-access tool will help doctors and researchers compare infant brain metabolite levels to those of 140 infants whose data were used to develop the tool.  Photo by Fred Zwicky blog posts CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Researchers have created a new, open-access tool that allows doctors and scientists to evaluate infant brain health by assessing the concentration of various chemical markers, called metabolites, in the brain.

Researchers create new, open-access tool for assessing infant brain health Researchers have created a new, open-access tool that allows doctors and scientists to evaluate infant brain health by assessing the concentration of various chemical markers, called metabolites, in the brain. The tool compiled data from 140 infants to determine normal ranges for these metabolites. Published in the journal NMR in Biomedicine, the study describes an easier and more reliable way to evaluate metabolite concentrations in the infant brain than was previously available, said study lead Ryan Larsen, a resear...
