Associations among socioeconomic disadvantage, longitudinal changes in within-network connectivity, and academic outcomes in the ABCD study.

ABSTRACT: Lower parental socioeconomic status (SES) is consistently linked to lower academic achievement among adolescents, with early disparities persisting into adulthood. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these associations are not well understood. This preregistered study investigates the associations between household and neighborhood disadvantage-measured by income-to-needs ratio, parental educational attainment, and neighborhood SES-changes in within-network functional connectivity, and school grades, using longitudinal data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (N = 4745; age at baseline = 119.1 ± 7.5 months; age at 2-year follow up = 143.6 ± 7.8 months; age at 3-year follow up = 154.8 ± 7.7 months). Within-network connectivity changed significantly from base
