A study of more than 2,300 9- to 10-year-olds found that socioeconomic factors explained most differences in the preteens' brain development. n.pr/4xoA70O
Brain scans can predict a child's socioeconomic status better than they can predict the child’s IQ. #neuroskyence

Or perhaps a child’s SES better predicts their brain scans than their IQ does.
Children living in areas with low socioeconomic opportunities have more tired and stressed brains, a new study finds

No, the data are screaming that no kid should grow up poor.
A new Science study suggests variables linked to socioeconomic status—increased stress and reduced sleep—have strong relationships to brain structure and function in children. Brain differences observed are unrelated to genetic ancestry and may not be permanent. https://scim.ag/4opL5PF
