We also searched for correlations between neuroimaging abnormalities and neuropsychological variables. Methods Ten patients with FM and 10 gender- and age-matched control subjects were studied. A neuropsychological examination DWI DTI and proton MRS were performed on the brain areas known to be associated with pain processing. Results Compared with healthy controls FM patients had significantly higher levels of glutamate glutamine Glx mean SD arbitrary institutional units versus P and higher glutamate glutamine creatine Glx Cr ratios versus P in the posterior gyrus. Myoinositol Ins levels of the right and left hippocampi were significantly lower in FM patients versus P and versus P respectively . In FM patients decreased myoinositol creatine Ins Cr ratios were found in the left sensorimotor area P and the left hippocampus P and lower levels of choline P and N-acetyl aspartate N-acetyl aspartyl glutamate NAA NAG P in the left hippocampus. Significant correlations between depression pain and global function and the posterior gyrus Glx levels and Glx Cr ratios were observed. Conclusions Glx within the posterior gyrus could be a pathologic factor in FM. .
