ResumoChanges in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) throughout the entire age range including childhood were reported. The CBF in grey matter of children was markedly higher than that found in adults and showed a negative correlation with age. In contrast, the blood flow in white matter did not show a notable decrease with age. The regional distribution of CBF in children did not exhibit the frontal lobe dominance typical of adults. The rCBF pattern began to approach that of adults with growth and by 10 yr the rCBF pattern of children was similar to that of adults.
