University of Utah USTAR professor of psychiatry, Perry Renshaw, M.B.A., M.D., Ph.D., discusses his work using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to investigate how living at high altitude affects brain chemistry and may contribute to the high rates of depression observed in Utah, and to devise treatments to normalize brain chemistry.
