Poverty and crime can have devastating effects on a child’s health. A new study shows that can happen even before babies are born.
Infants born to mothers living in poverty have smaller volumes of gray and white matter across the entire brain. Additionally, babies born to mothers who live in high crime areas showed differences in brain activity to those whose mothers lived in safer areas.

Maternal stress, researchers say, could be a main factor in the differences in neuroanatomy and brain connectivity.
