Iron, Brain, and Behavior
Large-scale efficacy studies that have been conducted in India and Rwanda document improvements in iron status from the consumption of fortified staples and biofortified crops. Techniques of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience document that these improvements are accompanied by improvements in measures of brain function and perception and cognition. These results have suggested the need for laboratory-based studies intended to increase our understanding of the effects of iron deficiency and its correction on brain function and behavior
