Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Amygdala and Hippocampus Subdivisions in Children and Adolescents.

ABSTRACT: Socioeconomic status (SES) in childhood can impact behavioral and brain development. Past work has consistently focused on the amygdala and hippocampus, two brain areas critical for emotion and behavioral responding. While there are SES differences in amygdala and hippocampal volumes, there are many unanswered questions in this domain connected to neurobiological specificity, and for whom these effects may be more pronounced. We may be able to investigate some anatomical subdivisions of these brain areas, as well as if relations with SES vary by participant age and sex. No work to date has however completed these types of analyses. To overcome these limitations, here, we combined multiple, large neuroimaging datasets of children and adolescents with information about neurobiology and SES (
