Abstract:
This talk will describe research examining how parents and neighborhood disadvantage are related to brain function. The talk will focus on a population ecological neuroscience approach to understanding how poverty “gets under the skin” to impact brain development. Specifically, the talk will describe research linking parenting and neighborhood risk to neural function in emotion and regulatory regions of the brain using representative samples with enrichment for exposure to disadvantage. Additionally, the talk will cover current and future directions using novel designs (experimental, twin) to get closer to causal models.
