Publication date: 01 November 1996
Pages417–422Effect of photic stimulation (PS) on energy metabolism in the human occipital cortex was examined by using phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy in 9 normal subjects. Phosphocreatine (PCr)/total phosphorus signal peak area ratio significantly ...
