NIR spectroscopy and imaging.

Model for coupling of synaptic activity with glucose utilization.
At glutamatergic synapses, the action of glutamate is terminated by an efficient glutamate uptake system located in
astrocytes (1). Glutamate is cotransported with Na+, resulting in an increase in the intracellular concentration of Na+,
leading to the activation of the Na+-K-ATPase (2a). Glutamate is converted to glutamine by glutamine synthase. (2b)
Activation of the Na+-K+-ATPase triggers aerobic glycolysis (3). Lactate produced by the glutamate-stimulated glycolysis
is released from astrocytes (4). A. synatic activation; B, direct glucose uptake into neurons under basal conditions. Pyr,
pyruvate; Lac, lactate; Gln, glutamine; G, G protein; PGK, phosphoglycerate kinase. Copyright (1994) National Academy

At a fixed separation of sources (4) and
detectors (16), the functionally activated
signal cause absorption changes according to
Beers Law from whcih incremental changes
of total hemoglobin (HbT) oxy-deoxy
hemoglobin are computed:
∆CHbT = ∆OD805 / ∆E805 X L
Where ∆E is the incremental absorption
coefficient, ∆OD the absorbance changes in
functional activity and L is the photon
migration pathlength and saturation of Hb
can be computed:
∆Y =
HbO2

HbO2+Hb
