Resumen:
Biological and psychosocial risk factors associated with low-SES and poverty conditions are related with inequalities in child cognitive and socioemotional development that poses a threat to educational attainment and adult productivity worldwide. Low-SES and poverty can have profound effects on the brain and body, and thus influence both mental and physical health. Policies and interventions can affect neuroplasticity. Emerging translational animal and human research link poverty to neurobiological pathways through changes in gray and white matter. We are at the very start of developing interventions that may aid in improving this situation through using classroom and individual exercises that have proven useful in some low-SES and poor populations.
