Summary
Patients with Growth hormone (GH) deficiency often report impaired quality of life and
difficulty with mental functioning. It has been suggested that GH replacement in such
patients leads to improvement in cognitive function. The aim of this study is to elucidate
the effects of GH replacement in patients with GH deficiency on cognitive function using
structural and functional neuroimaging and cognitive testing.
