Iron is essential for brain function. It supports cellular metabolism and is critical for the formation of myelin, the insulating sheath that enables efficient neural communication. At the same time, excessive iron can promote oxidative damage and has been implicated in several neurological diseases. Understanding how iron changes in the human brain across the lifespan istherefore central to understanding both healthy aging and disease vulnerability. [more]
