WASHINGTON - A new Food and Drug Administration ethics panel said Friday the advancement of science outweighed the risks of giving a stimulant to healthy children as young as 9.
The 11-member Pediatric Ethics Subcommittee gathered for the first time to consider a proposal that would give a single 10 mg. dose of dextroamphetamine to 78 children. The study, led by Dr. Judith L. Rapoport, would use MRIs to reveal brain patterns as the children complete certain tasks.

La corteza cerebral se engrosa y luego se afina durante la infancia y la adolescencia. El estudio reveló que en los niños con inteligencia superior, la corteza alcanza su máximo grosor a una edad más avanzada que en los demás.
Un análisis halló que los niños con mayor coeficiente de inteligencia -de 121 a 149- no alcanzaron el máximo grosor hasta los 11 años. Los niños un poco menos inteligentes alcanzaron ese grosor a los nueve años y los de inteligencia promedio a los seis años. En todos los casos, la corteza se adelgazaba a medida que el niño maduraba.
[Nadie] sabe por qué la corteza se engrosa y luego adelgaza, dijo [Shaw]. Por eso es imposible saber por qué esos cambios están relacionados con la inteligencia. La estimulación del intelecto afecta la evolución del cerebro y probablem...

Smart children really do develop differently, and here is the first physical evidence of that," said UCLA neuroscientist Paul Thompson, an expert on imaging and brain development. "You'd think they'd develop faster and earlier than normal kids. The surprise is they don't.
The scans revealed tell-tale waves of change that coursed through the brain's prefrontal cortex- a thick wrinkled carpet of cells that orchestrates memory, attention, perceptual awareness, language, reason and consciousness. "The story of intelligence is in the trajectory of brain development," [Philip Shaw] said. "What differs with intelligence is the rate of these changes."
"It is tempting to assume that this developmental change in brain structure is determined by a person's genes," said psychologist Richard Passi...
