Iron is a critical metabolic cofactor for many key processes of brain development like myelination and neurotransmitter synthesis. This study estimated brain iron content in children aged 7 to 16 years and examine the relationship to cognitive functions. Higher brain iron content was correlated with both faster processing speed and higher general intelligence.
