Russ Poldrack@russpoldrack.org · 3w agoIn this new preprint, @jocelynricard.bsky.social argues for a more intentional and principled approach to the measurement of neighborhood-level effects on brain development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
What matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New paper in Nature Mental Health where we show that macroeconomic income inequality is associated with brain structure and function over and above individual-level SES and other state-level factors. These alterations may serve as pathways to mental health problems. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Macroeconomic income inequality, brain structure and function, and mental health - Nature Mental Health
Rakesh et al. used data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development cohort study to evaluate the relationship between state-level income inequality, brain structure and function, and mental health in young people.

Excited to share our new preprint! We conducted a spatial meta-analysis of community violence and mental health, synthesizing 155 articles (k = 769) to test how exposure to community violence is associated with mental health problems, and how state social service investments moderate the link. 💵
