Episode #54 - Neuroscience of Poverty

Research suggests there’s compelling evidence that growing up in poverty negatively impacts early childhood brain development, resulting in lower academic achievement and diminishing long-term health outcomes. On today’s show, learn about research investigating the neuroscience of poverty. We’ll also discover a clinical trial that’s testing an experimental drug for treating a kidney disease. And later, we’ll focus our “CTS-EYE” on efforts to address disparities in food access and food security in our community. Come discover with us, inside this edition of CTSI Discovery Radio!
