Children’s family income is associated with cognitive function and volume of anterior not posterior hippocampus

Children’s family income is associated with cognitive function and volume of anterior not posterior hippocampus

The hippocampus is thought to underlie income gaps in children’s cognition. Here, the authors find that the stress-sensitive anterior (but not posterior) hippocampus mediates income-gaps in memory and vocabulary, especially in children whose families earn ≤$75k annually.
