“…Three-dimensional 1 H MRSI data were acquired using a validated ( Ding et al, 2015 ) and widely used ( e.g., Lecocq et al, 2015 , Sabati et al, 2015 , Ding et al, 2016 , Zhang et al, 2018 , Maghsudi et al, 2020a , Maghsudi et al, 2020b , Zhang et al, 2020 ) echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) prototype sequence with lipid inversion nulling: TR = 1710 ms, TE = 17.6 ms, flip angle = 73°, TI = 198 ms, FOV = 280 × 280 × 135 mm 3 , matrix = 50 × 50 × 18, nominal voxel volume = 0.235 cm 3 , 16:49 min. A 280 × 280 × 100 mm 3 excitation slab covered the base of the occipital lobe through the top the brain, parallel to the AC-PC axis, as shown in Fig.…”
