Dynamic GluCEST and GABACEST evaluation of 3xTg AD mice treated with riluzole. (A, B) GluCEST and GABACEST images of the whole brain, hippocampus, and cortex in AD_R, AD_C, C57_R, and C57_C groups at baseline, 6, 12 and 20 weeks post-treatment. (C, D) Quantitative analysis of GluCEST and GABACEST signals in the hippocampus and cortex over time. (E, F) Comparative analysis of GluCEST and GABACEST signals in the hippocampus and cortex across four groups at 20 weeks post treatment. Data were presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
