Abstract
The amount, concentration, localization, molecular nature, transport, and cellular function of iron and iron-dependent biochemical interactions in the brain are topics which are of particular interest to understanding the physiological and neurodegenerative processes which occur within the central nervous system (CNS). While neurobiological research into the metabolic and pathogenic role of iron is a developing field of study, the detailed relationship with dietary iron intake remains a largely unexplored area.
