Description
Bhaskar Ray and co-authors link environment to brain maturation in adolescents in this 2024 paper. Brain age was estimated from scans in a large youth cohort. Children whose brains looked older than their years also scored higher on thinking tests. The cohort held 7,435 children aged nine to ten years.
Three kinds of brain measures were combined with nine environmental factors. A joint analysis found a strong shared pattern across all data types. Air pollution, area crime, and population density all tied to the brain pattern. Lower gray matter in two regions linked to volume and thickness changes elsewhere. The work shows how place and exposure track with brain development at a sensitive age.
