Summary

This study looks at how blood flow and oxygen use in the brain change as children grow, and how these changes might affect development. Researchers will use MRI scans and sometimes measure blood flow while participants breathe in extra carbon dioxide. The goal is to better understand brain health in healthy children and those with sickle cell disease, who are at risk for strokes.
