Socioeconomic resources are associated with distributed alterations of the brain’s intrinsic functional architecture in youth☆


ABSTRACT: Little is known about how exposure to limited socioeconomic resources (SER) in childhood gets “under the skin” to shape brain development, especially using rigorous whole-brain multivariate methods in large, adequately powered samples. The present study examined resting state functional connectivity patterns from 5821 youth in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, employing multivariate methods across three levels: whole-brain, network-wise, and connection-wise. Across all three levels, SER was associated with widespread alterations across the connectome. However, critically, we found that parental education was the primary driver of neural associations with SER. These parental education associations with the developing connectome exhibited notable concentrations in somatosensory and subcortical regions, and they were partially accounted for by home enrichment activities, child’s cognitive abilities, and child’s grades, indicating interwoven links between parental education, child stimulation, and child cognitive performance. These results add a new data-driven, multivariate perspective on links between household SER and the child’s developing functional connectome. Graphical Abstract ga1 Highlights • How does access to socioeconomic resources (SER) shape the developing brain?• Examined resting state connectomes from 5821 youth in ABCD Study.• Used multivariate methods across 3 levels: brain-wide, networks, and connections.• SER was associated with widespread alterations across the connectome.• Parental education was the primary driver of these SER associations.
