Abstract

This is a tribute to Sebastián Cerdán, a brilliant and innovative NMR spectroscopist whose studies contributed greatly to the fundamental information to the understanding of brain metabolism, particularly in regard to multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques. Sebastián Cerdán sadly passed away in May 2022. He was a wonderful mentor and colleague who will be greatly missed.

Keywords: MRS; NMR; Sebastian Cerdan; metabolism; pyruvate recycling pathway.
