abstract = {The availability of phosphocreatine (PCr) and the ratio to
inorganic phosphate (Pi) in cerebral tissue has been
hypothesized a substrate of wakefulness and the exhaustion
thereof a substrate of fatigue. We used 31P-magnetic
resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) to investigate quantitative
levels of PCr, the γ-signal of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
and Pi in 30 healthy humans (18 female) in the morning, in
the afternoon, and while napping (n = 15) versus wake
controls (n = 10).Levels of PCr (2.40 mM at 9 AM) decreased
by 7.0 ± 0.8 $\%$ (p = 7.1 × 10-6, t = -5.5) in the left
thalamus between 9 AM and 5 PM. Inversely, Pi (0.74 mM at 9
AM) increased by 17.1 ± 5 $\%,$ (p = .005, t = 3.1) and pH
levels dropped by 0.14 ± 0.07 (p = .002; t = 3.6).
Following a 20 min nap after 5 PM, local PCr, Pi and pH were
restored at morning levels. We did not find respective
significant changes in the contralateral thalamus or in
other investigated brain regions. Left hemispheric PCr
significantly undercut right only at 5 PM in the thalamus
but at all conditions in the temporal region.Thus cerebral
daytime- and sleep-related molecular changes are accessible
in vivo. Prominent changes were identified in the thalamus.
This region is highly loaded with a series of energy
consuming tasks such as the relay of sensory information to
the cortex. Furthermore, our data underline that
lateralization of brain function is regionally dynamic and
includes PCr.},
