LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Disadvantaged neighborhoods, characterized by poverty, unemployment and other socio-economic challenges, could pose particular environmental risks to the brain development of children, according to a USC study released today.
The study, published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, suggests that such factors could affect adolescent neurocognitive performance and even brain size.
Researchers said the findings highlight the importance of neighborhood environments for healthy child and adolescent brain growth.
They also suggested that policies, programs and investments that help improve local conditions and empower communities could better support children s brain development and long-term health.

CLARK, NJ - At almost every high school graduation, both locally and nationally, a series of speakers will deliver inspiring speeches in hopes that some graduates will rise to the occasion. Class of 2010 graduate, Emily Vargas, certainly fulfilled that charge.
Upon graduating from ALJ, Vargas attended Rutgers University as a student-athlete. “I was tremendously fortunate to have received a significant track and field scholarship, which gave me the opportunity to pursue higher education,” explained Vargas, “In my four years at Rutgers, I was very busy studying and traveling around the country competing in the high jump, long jump, triple jump, and the 55-meter hurdles. The life of a student-athlete was demanding, both physically and psychologically, but it was all worth it.”
