Looking forward to the science deniers on this board getting their feathers ruffled:
Neuroscientists who studied the brain scans of nearly 1,100 children and young adults nationwide from ages 3 to 20 found that the surface area of the cerebral cortex was linked to family income. They discovered that the brains of children in families that earned less than $25,000 a year had surface areas 6 percent smaller than those whose families earned $150,000 or more. The poor children also scored lower on average on a battery of cognitive tests.
No! No! No! Its all about "cultural conditioning" and "socioeconomic factors" and "white privilege" and "systemic racism" and "lack of role models in TV/movies" and...............you know the rest.
New brain science shows poor kids........
