The Long Reach of Parents and Neighborhoods on Brain and Behavioral Development
This talk will describe two lines of research examining how parents and neighborhood impact development. First, I will describe an ecological neuroscience approach to understanding how poverty “gets under the skin” to impact brain development. Specifically, the talk will describe research linking parenting and neighborhood risk to neural function in emotion and regulatory regions of the brain using representative samples with enrichment for exposure to disadvantage. Second, I will describe the role of parenting in the development of early antisocial behavior, particularly callous-unemotional traits, using genetically informed designs. Collectively these studies highlight how “nature,” “nurture,” and their interaction influence brain and behavioral development from the toddler period into adolescence.
