After donating blood, positive and negative susceptibility were measured using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI to estimate brain iron and myelin levels, respectively. Furthermore, neurocognitive function was evaluated using the NIH Toolbox, and neural network activation patterns were assessed during neurocognitive tasks using functional MRI (fMRI). Donors were randomized to i.v. iron repletion (1 g iron) or placebo, and outcome measures repeated approximately 4 months later.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Iron repletion corrected systemic iron deficiency and led to trends toward increased whole brain iron (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04) and myelination (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.02), with no change in the placebo group.
