Effects of childhood poverty and chronic stress on emotion regulatory brain function in adulthood
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Childhood poverty has been linked to emotion dysregulation, which is further associated with negative physical and psychological health in adulthood. The current study provides evidence of prospective associations between childhood poverty and adult neural activity during effortful attempts to regulate negative emotion. Adults with lower family income at age 9 exhibited reduced ventrolateral and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity and failure to suppress amygdala activation at age 24. Chronic stressor exposure across childhood mediated the relations between family income at age 9 and prefrontal cortex activity. The concurrent adult income, on the other hand, was not associated with neural activity. The information on the developmental timing of poverty effects and neural mechanisms may inform early interventions aimed at reducing health disparities.

“Chronic stress has also been shown to weaken PFC functional connectivity80 and PFC regulation of the amygdala81, and to increase the volume of the putamen, thus accentuating the switch from flexible goal-directed to habitual responding82.”

“Although we did not find a significant association between childhood income and mPFC, a region involved in reappraisal, the precentral gyrus is structurally interconnected and frequently activated with the mPFC as well as lateral PFC during Reappraisal (50).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
