Background In the western world, 10–15% of women of child-bearing age suffer from iron-
deficiency anemia. Iron overload due to chronic treatment with blood transfusions or …

Abstract Purpose of Review Exposure to environmental metals, like lead (Pb), manganese
(Mn), and methylmercury (Me-Hg), has consistently been implicated in neurodevelopmental …

Theories of human neurobehavioral development suggest executive functions mature from
childhood through adolescence, underlying adolescent risk-taking and the emergence of …

Despite loss of grey matter volume and emergence of distinct cognitive deficits in young
adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, current treatments for schizophrenia do not target …

Adolescence is characterized by the maturation of cortical microstructure and connectivity
supporting complex cognition and behavior. Axonal myelination influences brain …

The brain is organized into networks at multiple resolutions, or scales, yet studies of
functional network development typically focus on a single scale. Here, we derive …

The human brain is active at rest, and spontaneous fluctuations in functional MRI BOLD
signals reveal an intrinsic functional architecture. During childhood and adolescence …

Iron is involved in many processes in the brain including, myelin generation, mitochondrial
function, synthesis of ATP and DNA and the cycling of neurotransmitters. Disruption of …

The functions of the human brain are metabolically expensive and reliant on coupling
between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and neural activity, yet how this coupling evolves over …

Putative MRI markers of iron in deep gray matter have demonstrated age related changes
during discrete periods of healthy childhood or adulthood, but few studies have included …
