We analyzed the correlation among gray matter volume, cerebral blood flow, age, and lifestyle in 300 healthy children using brain magnetic resonance imaging. As a result, we have revealed that the cerebral blood flow of the resting state shows the increase followed by the decrease trajectory, and that the age at the peak of the cerebral blood flow is different among the brain regions. In addition, we have revealed that the kind of staple in the breakfast affect the gray matter volume and cognitive function in healthy children. These results may contribute to clarifying the normal brain development in healthy children.
