Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) has detected reduced GABA concentrations in the frontal and motor cortices, cerebellum, anterior cingulate cortex, and sensorimotor regions of ASD patients, along with decreased ratios of GABA/glutamate, N-acetylaspartate/creatine, GABA/creatine, and glutamate/creatine
